How many three-digit positive integers a b c\underline{a} \ \underline{b} \ \underline{c} are there whose nonzero digits a,b,a,b, and cc satisfy 0.a b c=13(0.a+0.b+0.c)?0.\overline{\underline{a}~\underline{b}~\underline{c}} = \frac{1}{3} (0.\overline{a} + 0.\overline{b} + 0.\overline{c})? (The bar indicates repetition, thus 0.a b c0.\overline{\underline{a}~\underline{b}~\underline{c}} is the infinite repeating decimal 0.a b c a b c 0.\underline{a}~\underline{b}~\underline{c}~\underline{a}~\underline{b}~\underline{c}~\cdots )
