What does 100b equal if 1b = 1250, but 100b is only 3 times more than 10b? Thank you!

What does 100b equal if 1b = 1250, but 100b is only 3 times more than 10b? What is a formula to find b based on its number? Also, what type of math would I need to know to figure this out? Thank you!

I posted an updated version. Should I just mark this one as solved? How do I delete it?

Did the problem really say "three times more than 10b" and not just "three more than 10b"?
If 100b is three more than 10b then 100b- 10b= 90b= 3 so b= 3/90= 1/30.

I posed an updated version, https://www.freemathhelp.com/forum/...ases-depending-on-the-number-of-units.117870/, but yes, 3 times more. Thank you so much for responding!
