Answer:
The smallest number is 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the smallest number to be X
So the continuous/consecutive numbers will be (x+1) and (x+2)
So,
x+x+1+x+2 = 99
3x+3 = 99
3x = 99-3
3x = 96 [Transposition]
x = 96/3 [Transposition]
x = 32
Therefore,
= (x)+(x+1)+(x+2)
= 32+33+34
= 99
