Question

1/3 of a number exceeds 1/4 of the number by 15

Answer 1

$let \: the \: required \: no \: be \: x. \\ \\ therefore \: atq \\ \\ x \times \frac{1}{3} - (x \times \frac{1}{4} + 15) = 0 \\ \\ \frac{x}{3 } - \frac{x}{4} +15 = 0 \\ \\ \frac{4x - 3x}{12} = - 15 \\ \\ x = - 15 \times 12 \\ \\ x = - 180$
