A 100-foot rope is cut into three pieces. The first piece is three times as long as the second, and the third piece is \(25\) feet shorter than the second. How many feet long is the shortest piece?

The only possible values are the first piece is 75, the second 25, and the third 0. That's not 3 pieces, can you piece recheck your question?
