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

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

x = 1000
y = 250
z = 500
