The lengths of the sides of a triangle in inches are three consecutive integers. The length of the shortest side is $30\%$ of the perimeter. What is the length of the longest side?
$\textbf{(A)}\ 7 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 8\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 9\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 10\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 11$
Let $n$, $n+1$, and $n+2$ be the lengths of the sides of the triangle. Then the perimeter of the triangle is $n + (n+1) + (n+2) = 3n+3$. Using the fact that the length of the smallest side is $30\%$ of the perimeter, it follows that:
$n = 0.3(3n+3) \Rightarrow n = 0.9n+0.9 \Rightarrow 0.1n = 0.9 \Rightarrow n=9$. The longest side is then $n+2 = 11$. Thus, answer choice $\boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 11}$ is correct.
