assistant: Given:

- Supply voltage \( V = 187V \)
- \( R_1 = 36 \, \Omega \) (series)
- \( R_2 = 32 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 17 \, \Omega \) (R2 and R3 are in parallel)

---

### Step 1: Calculate equivalent resistance of R2 and R3 in parallel

\[
\frac{1}{R_{23}} = \frac{1}{32} + \frac{1}{17}
\]

Calculate each reciprocal:
