You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let n=dumpster 3. Then dumpster 2=n-80, and dumpster 1=n-80-45=n-125. So:
\n" ); document.write( "n+n-80+n-125=236
\n" ); document.write( "3n=441
\n" ); document.write( "n=147
\n" ); document.write( "n-80=67
\n" ); document.write( "n-125=22 ☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( "
