Question

A number exceeds its three fifth by 14. What is that number?

Answer 1

Let the number = x

x = (3/4)x + 14

x - (3/4)x = 14

(4/4)x - (3/4)x = 14

(1/4)x = 14

x = 14*4 = 56

The number is 56

Answer 2

The value of that number is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A number exceeds its three fifth by 14.

To Find:

The value of that number.

Solution:

Let that number is p.

As given,a  number exceeds its three fifth by 14.

$p=\frac{3}{5} p+14$

$p-\frac{3}{5} p=14$

$\frac{(5-3)}{5} p=14$

$\frac{2}{5} p=14$

$p=\frac{14\times5}{2}$

$p=35$

Thus,the value of that number is 35.
