Question

2/3 of a number is 20 less than the original number. Find the number.
​

Answer 1

Let the original number be x.

According to the question we can write as (2/3)x+20x

On rearranging x−(2/3)x=20

Now taking the L.C.M od 1 and 3 is 3

(3x−2x)/3=20

x/3=20

Again by transposing x=60

So the original number is 60

Answer 2

Answer:

20.75

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = 0.75

20+0.75=20.75
