    160

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Consecutive numbers have a difference of 1 between them.

    Let n be the first number then n + 1 and n + 2 are the second and third numbers. Summing them gives

    n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 477, that is

    3n + 3 = 477 (subtract 3 from both sides)

    3n = 474 (divide both sides by 3)

    n = 158

    The 3 consecutive numbers are 158, 159, 160

    The third number is 160
