这些数字不太合理呀！

The numbers didn't add up !!!
Max	These are just some rough ideas I have. Maybe we can try this out.
Michelle	Good points, Max. But we should  take a look at the figures Dan got for us. Dan, what are these   figures based on ? And how solid are they ?
Dan	The figures are based on first  quarter's profits. I believe they are very solid.
Michelle	But these figures do not support Max's argument. And I noticed  the numbers didn't add up.  Anyway, I want you to go over these numbers once again. We can't use  them before they prove to be right.
Dan	Got it. I'll go through all the materials again.
Michelle	OK, guys. We've been sitting for 3 hours. we'd better get up and  stretch our legs. We'll discuss it further later today.

                                                                                   

Explanation :

If a situation does not add up,  there is no reasonable or likely explanation for it.

Example : Why would she disappear the day before her holiday? It just  doesn't add up.

However, I am wondering how to express" 存在的就是合理的”？Who can gave me a helping hand? Thanks
