There is a flower garden, a lake and three temples. If we throw a flower into the lake, we will get back triple the number of flowers we threw in. A man wants to keep an equal number of flowers in all three temples.
He throws a certain number of flowers in the lake. He leaves part of the flowers that he got back at the first temple. He then throws all the rest in the lake and puts some in the second temple. Finally, he throws the leftovers in the lake and puts them all in the third temple.
How many flowers did he start out with, and how many flowers are in each temple?
