Question

50 subracted from half of a number gives 10 what is the number​

Answer 1

Answer :

• Other number is 120

Given :

• 50 subtracted from half of a number gives 10

To find :

• Number

Solution :

• Let the number be x

50 subtracted from half of a number gives 10 so,

》x/2 - 50 = 10

》x - 100 / 2 = 10

》x - 100 = 20

》x = 100 + 20

》x = 120

Hence , Other number is 120

Verification :

》x/2 - 50 = 10

》120/2 - 50 = 10

》60 - 50 = 10

》10 = 10

Hence , Verified

Answer 2

${\large{\underline{\underline{\pmb{\frak{Let's\ understand\ the\ concept:-}}}}}}$

☀️ As per the given information, we know that when we subtract 50 from half of a number the result is 10. In order to find the required number firstly we have to assume the number as a variable. After that, we can find that number by forming an equation according to the question and further solving it.

❍ Then, by solving the equation we have formed according to the given condition of the question we can easily find the required answer.

~Let the required number be ' x '

$\underline{\bigstar\:\bf{According\:to\; the\; Question\;:}}$

$\sf \implies \dfrac{x}{2} - 50 = 10$

$\sf \implies \dfrac{x- ( 50 \times 2 )}{2} = 10$

$\sf \implies \dfrac{x-100}{2} = 10$

$\sf \implies x-100 = 2 \times 10$

$\sf \implies x - 100 = 20$

$\sf \implies x = 100 + 20$

$\boxed{\bf{ \leadsto \;\;\; x = 120 \;\; }}$

Henceforth,

• The required number is 120
