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

Answer 1

HEY FRIEND HERE'S YOUR ANSWER

Let the required number be x.
thus,
2/3 of x = 2x/3
also, as 2x/3 is 20 less than x, then x - 2x/3 must be equal to 20.

x - 2x/3 = 20
=> (3x-2x )/ 3 = 20
=> x/3 = 20
=> x = 20× 3
=> x = 60

HENCE, THE REQUIRED NUBER IS 60.

HOPE THIS HELPS U

HAVE A GREAT DAY
