    Your description does not sound logical. I can think of no situation where you would have more neutral wires (white) than you have hot (black) wires.

    Please describe again. Describe like this. "I have 3 cables, each with a black and white wire."

    A wire is a single wire. A cable is two or more wires in an outer covering.

    Is this a single gang box with only an outlet or is it a two gang box for installation of an outlet and possibly a switch?

    Post a picture of wiring if possible.

    Is this new work or are you just replacing an outlet.
