Question

A number added to its two-thirds is equal to 55. Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

Two thirds of the number = 2x/3

According to the problem given,

x + 2x/3 = 55

( 3x + 2x ) /3 = 55

5x / 3 = 55

x = ( 55 × 3 ) / 5

x = 11 × 3

x = 33

∴ ,

Required number = x = 33
