Answer:

  5 + 10 + 15 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

You want a sum of three multiples of 5 that does not end in 5.

Multiples of 5

Any odd multiple of 5 will end in 5. An even multiple will not.

In order for the sum to not end in 5, the total of the multipliers must be even:

  1×5 +2×5 +3×5 = 6×5 = 30

  5 +10 +15 = 30 . . . . . . three multiples of 5 whose sum does not end in 5
