third --- x
second --- (2/5)x = 2x/5
first ----- (1/3)(2x/5) = 2x/15
x + 2x/5 + 2x/15 = 92
times 15
15x + 6x + 2x = 1380
x = 60
third = 60
second = 24
first = 8
second --- (2/5)x = 2x/5
first ----- (1/3)(2x/5) = 2x/15
x + 2x/5 + 2x/15 = 92
times 15
15x + 6x + 2x = 1380
x = 60
third = 60
second = 24
first = 8
