Three piles
We divide 100 kg of sugar into three piles. The first pile is small. If we add 2 kg of sugar to the second, it would have 25% more sugar than the first pile. If we add 3 kg of sugar to the third pile, it would have 20% more sugar than the second pile. How many kilograms of sugar are in each pile?
