? = $200,000

To simplify the question, imagine the numbers are divided by 10,000 or so. For example, 15, 12, and 8.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Ideally, you could add 15 + 12 + 8 and get 35.

15 + 12 + 8 = 35

Next, subtract 35 from 55.

55 - 35 = 20

Multiply 20 by 10,000, and you'll get 200,000.

Good luck!
