Step-by-step explanation:

A number is an arithmetic value that is used to calculate and represent a quantity. Numerical symbols, such as $3$ are written to represent numbers. A number system is a logical way of writing numbers that uses digits or symbols to represent them.

Given: Let the required number be$x.$

To find:  the number.

According to question,

$x-(\frac{3x}{8})=20$

Now,

$\frac{8x-3x}{8} =20$

Simplify.

$\frac{5x}{8}=20$

$5x=20*8$

$5x=160$

Calculate the value of $x.$

$x=\frac{160}{8}$

$x=20$

Hence, the required number is $20$.
