Asked by Ryan Smith

X Y & Z are 3 whole numbers that in total add up to 1750.

X + Y and Z = 1750

X is 4 times greater than Y.

Z is 2 times greater than Y.

Calculate the 3 numbers X Y & Z?
Answered by PsyDAG
X + Y + Z = 1750

x = 4Y

Y = 2Y

4Y + Y + 2Y = 1750

However, that does not come out exactly to whole numbers. Do you have any typos? It would seem that the zero is extraneous.
Answered by Ryan Smith
Thanks for your answer, but no there is no typos.

I paraphrased the question, but here it is in full, as per the paper

X Y and Z each stand for a whole number.

They add together to make 1750

X + Y and Z =1750

X is four times as big as Y
Z is twice as big as Y

Calculate the numbers X Y and Z.
