a) The 3 digit number _ _ _
Since the hundreds place digit is X and the ones place is 2.5 times as much. The ones place is 2.5x.
b) The number x/4/2.5x + 2.5x/ 4/ x = 787. (where the / represent a change in digit)
Comparing the digits in the ones place, we get,
2.5x + x = 7
3.5x = 7
x=2
Comparing the digits in the hundreds place, we get, (this works because the tens place has no digits carrying forward into the hundreds place)
x + 2.5x = 7
3.5x = 7
x=2
c) Therefore, the number is 245.
