Answer: 576.09

Explanation:

First number = 5.19.

The second number was 10 times the first number which will be:

= 5.19 × 10

= 51.9

The third number was 10 times the second number. Thus will be:

= 51.9 × 10

= 519

The sum of the numbers will be:

= 1st number + 2nd number + 3rd number

= 5.19 + 51.9 + 519

= 576.09
