Jessie wrote down a 3 digit natural number she said her number consists of three consecutive digits in descending order from left to right with the sum of its digits equal to 24 what number did Jessie write down

The three digit natural number is 789.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fist digit be x

The second digit will be x + 1

The third digit will be x + 2

So x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24

3x = 24 - 3

3x = 21

x = 7

The first digit is 7, the second digit is 8 and the third digit is 9

The three digit natural number is 789.
