Three faces $X , Y, Z$ of a unit cube share a common vertex. Suppose the projections of $X , Y, Z$ onto a fixed plane $P$ have areas $x, y, z$, respectively. If $x : y : z = 6 : 10 : 15$, then $x + y + z$ can be written as $m/n$ , where $m, n$ are positive integers and $gcd(m, n) = 1$. Find $100m + n$.
