Alan Rench sent in this problem from a high school algebra book from 1915:

There is a number consisting of three digits, those in the tens' and units' places being the same.
The digit in the hundreds' place is 4 times that in the units' place.
If the order of the digits is reversed, the number is decreased by 594.

What is the number?
