Answer 1

Answer

A=7.78

B=6.12

C=3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

A+B+C=17.15

A=1.66 +B

B=2.87 +C

Hence A= 1.66+ 2.87+ C

A= 4.53 + C

A+B+C=17.15

(4.53+C)+(2.87+C) +C=17.15

4.53+C+2.87+C+C=17.15

7.40+3C=17.15

3C=17.15-7.4=9.75

C=9.75/3=3.25

C= 3.25

B=2.87 +C=2.87+3.25=6.12

A=1.66 +B=1.66+6.12=7.78
