Moses Sellers · Answer 1

Option b is correct

Because the smallest number is n so other two numbers are n+1 and n+2

Since numbers are consecutive

and the sum of all three numbers is 303

so n+n+1+n+2=303

n+n+n+1+2=303

3n+3=303

B) 3n+3=303

Technically, C is correct too but nobody writes "3n" like "n3" so B is your answer.
