The problem gives the following:


\n" ); document.write( "A+B+C=1260
\n" ); document.write( "A/B = 2/3 cross multiply 3A = 2B and B = 3/2 * A
\n" ); document.write( "B/C = 4/5 cross multiply 5B = 4C and C = 5/4 * B


\n" ); document.write( "Solve the first equation for A by substituting in B and C in terms of A.


\n" ); document.write( "B = 3/2 * A and C = 5/4 * B = 5/4 * 3/2 * A = 15/8 * A


\n" ); document.write( "A + (3/2)A + (15/8)A = 1260
\n" ); document.write( "(8A + 12A + 15A)/8 = 1260
\n" ); document.write( "35A = 10080
\n" ); document.write( "A=288


\n" ); document.write( "B = 3/2 * A = 3/2 * 288 = 432
\n" ); document.write( "C = 5/4 * B = 5/4 * 432 = 540
\n" ); document.write( "
