Question

3 less than one fifth of a number is 16​

Answer 1

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be X.

Then, required equation according to the question = X/5 - 3 = 16

=> X - 15 / 5 = 16

=> X - 15 = 16 × 5

=> X - 15 = 80

=> X = 80 + 15

=> X = 95

Then, number = X / 5 = 95/5 = 19
