    100

    189

    83

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Firstly, we can see that there are three aircrafts. Let the number of aircrafts in the second aircraft be x.

    Then the first has 89 more seats meaning it has a total seats of x + 89

    The third has 17 fewer seats meaning x - 17

    Now we are expected to find the number of seats on each of the aircraft officials.

    We add all and then sum to the total 372.

    This means

    x + x + 89 + x - 17 = 372

    3x + 72 = 372

    3x = 300

    x = 300/3 = 100

    The aircrafts thus have 100 seats, 189 and 83 seats in no particular order
