Question

1/4 of a no. decreased by 5=1/5 of the no. increased by 5. Find the no.

pls help someone​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans: 200

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}x -5=\frac{1}{5}x +5 \\\\\frac{x}{4}-\frac{20}{4} = \frac{x}{5} + \frac{25}{5} \\\\\frac{x-20}{4} =\frac{x+25}{5}$(cross multiply)

$5(x-20)=4(x+25)\\5x-100=4x+100\\5x-4x=100+100\\x=200$

Ans : Therefore the number is equal to 200.
