Question

50% of what, when added to 20, results into more than 50 and less than 60.

Answer 1

Answer:

If we add 50% of 70 to 20 then the result will be 55.

Which is more than 50 and less than 60.

Answer 2

Given: $50$% of a number, when added to$20$, results into more than$50$ and less than$60$.

We have to find the value of a number.

We are solving in the following way:

Let assume the number will be$x$,

From the given statement, we can write:

$=>x\times\frac{50}{100}+20\\\\=>\frac{50x}{100} =-20\\\\=>50x=-20\times100\\\\=>50x=-2000$

Solving the above equation further we get,

$=>x=\frac{-2000}{50} \\\\=>x=-40$

Hence we get$x=-40$.

By putting this value of$x$ in the above statement:

$=>-40\times\frac{50}{100} +20\\=>-20+20\\=>0$

Hence, there is no number is available whose$50$% of a number, when added to$20$, results into more than$50$ and less than$60$.
