Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

$<font color= red>$

Hey mate here is your answer

$<font color= green>$

Let the original number = x

2/3 of the number = 2x/3

$<font color= orange>$

According to the problem given,

2/3 of the number less than the

original number by 20

x - 2x/3 = 20

( 3x - 2x )/3 = 20

x / 3 = 20

x = 20 × 3

x = 60

$<font color= green>$

Therefore ,

The original number = x = 60

$<font color= blue >$

I hope this helps you.
