Answer:
Now, our word problem is 1/4 of 3/5 of 6/5 of y is 54.
We all know ‘of’ basically means multiplication so our mathematical equation is:
(1/4)x(3/5)x(6/5)x(y)=54
Don't mistake ‘x’ with a variable, it's the symbol of multiplication!
Solving,
(18/100)y=54
x100 on both sides to get rid of the fraction, and then you have;
18y=5400
(Divide both sides by 18, to keep the y on it's own) And here you go:
y = 300
So, the desired number is 300!
hope it helps you tho . !
