Profits in the second quarter for a local retailer were 112% of that in the first quarter. Profits in the third quarter were 87% of that in the first quarter. The profit for the three quarters combined exceeded $255.00. What were the profit for each quarter.
let x - profits for 1st quarter
y - profits for 2nd quarter
z - profits for 3rd quarter
y = 1.12x
z = 0.87x
x+y+z > 225
x + 1.12x + 0.87x > 225
2.99x > 225
