A precipitation station X was inoperative for some time during which a torm occurred. At three stations A,B and C surrounding station X, the total precipitation recorded during this strom are 75mm, 58mm, and 47 mm respectively. The normal annual precipitation amounts at X, A B and C are respectively 757 mm, 826mm, 618mm and 482 mm. Estimate the storm precipitation at X.
