Question

a number gets reduced to its one-third when 48 is subtracted from it. What is two-third of that number?

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your answer,

Let the number be ‘x'

48 subtracted from it x-48

Reduced to its one third = (1/3)x

x-48= (1/3)x x (equation)

Solving

x-1xx/3=48

(3x-x) ÷3= 48

2x/3 = 48

2x= 48x3

x= 48x3/2=24x3= 72

Two third of the number = 72x(2/3) = 24x2=48

Ans:48
