Question

2. A number when added to its two-thirds is equal to 55. Find the number.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number = x

Two thirds of the number = 2x/3

According to the problem given,

x + 2x/3 = 55

( 3x + 2x) /3 = 55

5x /3 = 55

x = ( 55 x 3)/5

x = 11 x 3

x = 33

Therefore,

Required number = x= 33
