Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

the # of day in 3 cities are R D O respectively, then we have 

180R+230D+160O = 2660

110R+120D+90O = 1520

R = D+O 

Solve this equation, we have 

R=7, D=4, O=3

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
