The sum of three numbers is 225. If the ratio for the first and second number is 2: 3, the ratio of the second and third number is 3: 4, what is the second number?
Let the three numbers respectively be $$2x,3x$$ and $$4x$$
Sum = $$2x+3x+4x=9x=225$$
=> $$x=\frac{225}{9}=25$$
$$\therefore$$ Second number = $$3\times25=75$$
