Question

6 more than 1/4 of an number is 2/5 of the number. what's the number?​

Answer 1

Let the number be X.

So ATQ

x/4 + 6/1 = 2x/5

x + 24 / 4 = 2x /5 (taking LCM of the denominator)

5(x+24) = 4(2x) (cross multiplying)

5x + 120 = 8x

120 = 8x -5x

120 = 3x

120/3 = x

40 = x

Ans -> 40

Thank you
