Question

sum of three consecutive multiples of 4 is 444 then 999 by hundred times of biggest multiple among them is

Answer 1

Let the three consecutive multiples of 4 be x, x + 4, and x + 8.

Thus, x + x + 4 + x + 8 = 444

=>3x + 12 = 444

=>3x = 432

=>x = 432/3

=>x = 144

Hence x + 4 = 148, x + 8 = 152.

Therefore, the three consecutive multiples of 4 are 144, 148, 152. (144 + 148 +152 = 444.)

Hundred times of biggest multiple among them is 100 * 152  = 15,200

999 by hundred times of biggest multiple is 999/15,200 = 0.0657 (after approximation)
