Question

23. If 15% of 60 is greater than 25% of a number by 3, then find the number.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

15% of 60 = 9

let the number be x

25% of x = (125/100) x

9= (125/100) x+3

6= (5/4) x

x= 24/5

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of 60 = (15 X 60)/100

= 900/100 = 9

Let the other number be N

its given that

9 = 25N/100 + 3

9 = (25N + 300)/100

900 = 25N + 300

900 - 300 = 25N

600 = 25N

N = 600/25

N = 24
