<u>Answer</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

  • Largest number is 150.

<u>Step</u><u> </u><u>by</u><u> step</u><u> explaination</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

Here we have been given with the ratio of three numbers that is 1 : 3 : 5. So let us assume a common factor for them , we are assuming it as y.

Therefore,

  • First number = 1 → 1 × y = 1y
  • Second number = 3 → 3 × y = 3y
  • Third number = 5 → 5 × y = 5y

Sum of them is 270 :

>> 1y + 3y + 5y = 270

>> 4y + 5y = 270

>> 9y = 270

>> y = 270 / 9

>> y = 90 / 3

>> y = 30

Henceforth, value of y is 30.

★ Finding out first number :-

>> First number = 1y

>> First number = 1 × 30

>> First number = 30

★ Finding out second number :-

>> Second number = 3y

>> Second number = 3 × 30

>> Second number = 90

★ Finding out third number :-

>> Third number = 5y

>> Third number = 5 × 30

>> Third number = 150

Answer:

Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of car P = $27,500

Decrease rate r = 15% = 0.15

Final amount A = $1,254

Find:

Time taken n

Computation:

A = P[1-r]ⁿ

1,254 = 27,500[1-0.15]ⁿ

0.0456 = [0.85]ⁿ

Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)
