Answer:

The numbers are 73, 173 and 292.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the numbers are x, y and z we have:

y = 4x

z = x + 100

x + y + z = 538

Substituting for y in the last equation:

x + 4x + z = 538

5x + z = 538.............(1)

From the second equation:

z - x = 100................(2)

Equation (1) - (2) gives:

6x = 438

x = 73

Therefore y = 4x) = 4(73) = 292

and z = x + 100 = 73 + 100 = 173.

Answer:

73

292

173

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first number

4x = second number

100 + x = third number

x + 4x + 100 + x = 538

6x + 100 = 538

6x + 100 - 100 = 538 - 100

6x = 438

6x/6 = 438/6

x = 73

Check:

73 + 4(73) + 100 + 73 = 538

73 + 292 + 173 = 538

538 = 538

Assuming the sectors are numbered 1 to 8,

Sector 1 : can be coloured with any of the 4 colour in 4 ways

Sector 2 can be coloured with any of the remaining 3 colours in 3 ways

Sector 3 in 3 ways without using the colour in sector 2

Sector 4 in 3 ways without using the colour in sector 3

Sector 5 in 3 ways without using the colour in sector 4

Sector 6 in 3 ways without using the colour in sector 5

Sector 7 in 3 ways without using the colour in sector 6

Sector 8 in 2 ways without using the colours in sector 1 and 7

Number of ways of colouring = 4*3*3*3*3*3*3*2 = 5832 ways
