Question

3/9 of number is 19 less than the original number is

Answer 1

Answer:

15 is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The original number is $28.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\frac{3}{9}$ of a number is $19$ less than the original number​.

To Find:

We have to find the original number.

Solution:

Let the original number be '$x$'.

Then, $\frac{3}{9}$ of the number will be equal to $\frac{3}{9} \times y$

Now, $19$ less than the number = $y - 19$

Since it has been given that $\frac{3}{9}$ of a number is $19$ less than the original number.

Therefore, $\frac{3}{9} \times y = y - 19$

$y - \frac{3}{9} y = 19$

$\frac{6}{9} y = 19$

$y = \frac{19 \times 9}{6}$

$y = \frac{171}{6}$

$y = 28.5$

Final Answer:

The required number is $28.5$
