Question

3. If one third of a number is 36 less than the original number, find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

let original number be x

one third of number = x/3

one third of the number is 36 less than the original number

so x/3 = x - 36

=> x = 3 ( x - 36 )

=> x= 3x - 108

3x - x = 108

=> 2x = 108

x = 108/2 = 54

Answer 2

Answer:

answer is 54

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

one third of the number=1/3×x

therefore,

1/3x=x-36

x/3=x-36

x=3(x-36)

x=3x-108

x-3x= -108

-2x= -108

x=108/2

x=54
