Question

3/5th of number is 250 more than 40% of the same number .what is number

Answer 1

3/5th of the number will be 60%
60% of the number is 250 more than 40% of that number
Let the number be x
60% of x will be 0.6x
40% of x will be 0.4x
0.6x=250+0.4x
0.2x=250
x=250*5 (as 0.2 is 1÷5)
x=1250
Thus the number is 1250

Answer 2

Let the number be x

ATQ

3x/5=40%x+250

3x/5=40x/100+250

3x/5-40x/100=250

60x-40x/100=250

20x/100=250

x=250×100/20

x=1250
