Rory walked 2/4 of a mile more than Louise.
This can be done easily in a few ways. One, you could do equivelent fractions as this. 16 percent is the same as 16 over 100, or, 16/100, 100 being the total with an = sign with X over 550, or, X/550. you can multiply 16 by 500 and divide by 100 to get $88. Or you could do it my way, (prefered way). take the $550, divide it by 100, then multiply by 16 and get $88. either way you do this, you take away the $88 from $550 and get the sale price of [Drumroll please...]

Let's find the least possibilities:
First number: 6
Second number: 8
Third number: 10
6 + 8 + 10 = 24
Now we can see that we are still missing 31 - 24 = 7.
7 can be gained by adding 3 and 4, so:
First number: 6 + 3 = 9
Second number: 8 + 4 = 12
Third number: 10
9 + 12 + 10 = 31
