Question

15. If 1/4 of a number is added to 1/3 of that number, the result is 15 greater than half of that number. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us consider the number as x

Then as per the condition,

(1/4)x+(1/3)x−(1/2)x=15

(3x+4x−6x)/12=15

(1/12)x of a number =15

x=15×12/1

x=180

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the number as x

Then as per the condition,

(1/4)x+(1/3)x−(1/2)x=15

(3x+4x−6x)/12=15

(1/12)x of a number =15

x=15×12/1

x=180

Therefore, the required number is 180.
