Question

5. The difference between a number and one-fourth of itself is 24, find the number,
Find a number whose one-third part exceeds its one-fifth part by 20.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number = x

According to the condition

X – (1/4)x = 24

⇒ (4x – x)/x = 24 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24

⇒ x = 24 × 4/3 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24

⇒ x = 24 × 4/3 ⇒ x = 8 × 4

⇒ x = 32

∴ Number = 32
