Question

3/4 of a number is 160 less than its 80%.what is the number

Answer 1

$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

Let the number be x.

.

STEP 1: Form the equation:

3/4 of a number is 160 less than its 80%

=> 0.75x = 0.8x - 160

.............................................................................................

STEP 2: Solve x:

0.75x = 0.8x - 160

0.8x - 0.75x = 160

0.05x = 160

x = 3200

.............................................................................................

Answer: The number is 3200

$\huge{\underline{\bold{\orange{Solution:}}}}$

.

.

$\underline{\bold{3/4\: of \:a \:number\: is\: 160\: less\: than}}$
$\underline{\bold{its\: 80}}$%

.

.

$\textbf{Equation formed :—}$

.

.

= > $\large{\bold{0.75x = 0.8x - 160}}$

.

.

$\underline{\bold{Now,\: solve \:the\: equation\: and \: find}}$
$\underline{\bold{the \:value\: of \:x.}}$

.

.

= > $\large{\bold{0.75x = 0.8x - 160}}$

.

.

= > $\large{\bold{0.8x - 0.75x = 160}}$

.

.

= > $\large{\bold{0.05x = 160}}$

.

.

= > $\large{\bold{x = 3200}}$ ✔

.

.

$\underline{\bold{Thus,\: 3200\: is \:the\: required\: number.}}$
