Let the 3rd number = $\"+100+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.6%2A100+=+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The 1st number is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+100+%2B+60+=+160+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.2%2A100+=+20+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The 2nd number is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+100+%2B+20+=+120+\"$

\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+120%2F160+%29%2A100+=+%283%2F4%29%2A100+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%283%2F4%29%2A100+=+75+\"$
