Question

sum of three number A,B,cC is 46. B is approximately 42.86% of A and A is approximately 46.6% of C.what is the difference Between B
and C​

Answer 1

Let three numbers be a, b and c

The sum of three numbers is 55

a + b + c = 55…Eq..1

c - a = 51

c = 51 + a…Eq.2

a + b = 11

b = 11 - a…Eq..3

Substituting the value of c and b in Eq..1

a + (11 - a) + 51 + a = 55

a + 11 - a + 51 + a = 55 2a - a = 55 -11 - 51

a = —7

Substituting value of a in Eq..3

b = 11 - a

b = 11 - ( -7 )

b = 11 + 7

b = 18

Substituting value of a in Eq..2

c = 51 + a

c = 51 + (-7);

c = 44

Thus a = -7; b = 18 and c = 44

Answer the three numbers are -7; 18 and 44
