1. Answer:

   12,400

   Step-by-step explanation:

   A/B =3/5 ———(1)

   C/B=3/2 ———(2)

   From Eq. 1 B = 5A/3

   C=A+3600

   Sub in C/B=3/2

   (A+3600) /B = 3/2

   (A+3600) /(5A/3) = 3/2

   (A+3600) × 3/5A = 3/2

   (3A+10800) /5A = 3/2

   On cross multiplication:

   (3A+10800) × 2 = 5A × 3

   6A+21600 = 15 A

   15A – 6A = 21600

   9A = 21600

   A = 2400

   B = 5A/3

   B= 5(2400) /3

   B = 12000/3

   B= 4000

   C = A + 3600

   C= 2400 + 3600

   C= 6000

   A+B+C= 2400+4000+6000

   A+B+C= 12,400
