Question

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 99. What is the smallest number??

Answer 1

32

Explanation:

The three consecutive numbers are: 32, 33, 34

They add up to 99

Answer 2

32 is the smallest number

Explanation:

Let the numbers be X, X + 1, X + 2

X + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 99

X + X + X + 1 + 2 = 99

3X + 3 = 99

3X = 99 - 3

3X = 96

X = 96/3

X = 32
