What's the right answer here?

   a + b + c = 5.88
   abc = 5.88

is terribly undetermined and has a huge number of possible answers if the domain is the reals. If you postulate that a=1 then b=2.71 and c=2.17 is right to within rounding error (adds right, multiples to 5.8807)

If you are treating it as actual cents though, I don't think there's an exact answer as a/100,b/100 and c/100 will come out of the factors of 588 and I just don't see getting enough big numbers to add up to 588.
