Question

One number is 44 times a first number. a third number is 100 more than the first number. if the sum of the three numbers is 538538​, find the numbers.

Answer 1

I take it that the actual total is 538. If it really is 538538 leave me a note.

Let the first number = x

Let the second # = 44x

Let the third # = 100x

Equation

x + 44x + 100x = 538 Add the left side. All terms are part of the total.

145x = 538 Div By 145

x = 538/145

x = 3.71

Check

First number = 3.71

Second # = 44*3.71 = 163.24

Third number = 100*3.71 = 371

Total these 3 numbers 537.95 The very tiny difference is due to rounding.
