The sum of the digits of a certain three digit number is 12. If the hundreds digit is three times the tens digit, and the tens digit digit is one-half the ones digit, what is the number
-------
The number::: 100a + 10b + c
-----
Equations:
a + b + c = 12
a = 3b
b = (1/2)c
--------
-------------------
a = (3/2)c
Substitute for a and for b and solve for "c":
(3/2)c + (1/2)c + c = 12
------
3c = 12
c = 4
----
b = (1/2)c = 2
a = (3/2)c = 6
----
Number = 624
