Each time a mixture containing equal amounts of compounds A, B,and C is injected into a gas chromatograph, compound B gives a signal thatis only one-third the size of the signal from compound A, and compoundC gives a signal that is three times the size of the signal from the compoundA. When another mixture of these same three compounds, but which doesnot necessarily contain equal amounts of each, is injected into a gas chromatograph the area of the signals from A, B, and C are 105, 404, and 230 square units respectively. Calculate the percent of each component inthis second mixture.

Question
Each time a mixture containing equal amounts of compounds A, B,
and C is injected into a gas chromatograph, compound B gives a signal that
is only one-third the size of the signal from compound A, and compound
C gives a signal that is three times the size of the signal from the compound
A. When another mixture of these same three compounds, but which does
not necessarily contain equal amounts of each, is injected into a gas chromatograph the area of the signals from A, B, and C are 105, 404, and 230 square units respectively. Calculate the percent of each component in
this second mixture.
