In words:
Three boys ran in a race. Their total time was 24 minutes.
Bill ran 3 minutes quicker than Peter.
Michael ran 3 times quicker than Bill.
Find the race times of each boy.

tl;dr:
x + 3 = y
y * 3 = z
x + y + z = 24



From what I've gotten:

x + (x+3) + 3 (x+3) = 24

5x + 12 = 24
x = 12 / 5
y = 12 / 5 + 3
y = 27 / 5
z = y x 3
z = 81/5

Therefore

x = 2.4
y = 5.4
z = 16.2


Is this right? I've asked several people, but they've gotten different answers.

Thanks.
Maybe you should go back and ask your buddies at PC World!
