The sum of the three numbers is 4.06. The second number is 40% of the first, and the third is 1.5

The sum of the three numbers is 4.06. The second number is 40% of the first, and the third is 1.5 times more than the first. Find these numbers.

To solve the problem, we compose an equation in which the value of the first number is written as x.

Since the second number is 40% of the first, it will be equal to:

0.4 * x.

Since the third number is 1.5 times larger than the second, it will be:

1.5 * x.

The sum of all three numbers will be:

0.4 * x + x + 1.5 * x = 4.06.

2.9 * x = 4.06.

x = 4.06 / 2.9 = 1.4 (second number).

0.4 * x = 0.4 * 1.4 = 0.56 (first number).

1.5 * x = 1.5 * 1.4 = 2.1 (third number).

Answer: The numbers are 0.56, 1.4 and 2.1, respectively.
