YOUR NUMBERS ARE : 30 + 60 + 106.

Okay, say you take the number 30. (30 × 2 = 60.) And so that's where your 60 comes from! And then, you have to multiply the smallest number by 3, and add 16 to it. Let's try it out. [ (30 × 3 = 90) and (90 + 16 = 106) ]

And that's where you get the numbers 30, 60, and 106. Let's add them together.

30 + 60 = 90.
90 + 106 = 196.

So, in conclusion, your numbers are 30, 60, and 106.
