x=-150

Answer 2

Given,

A number is 25 more than its 5/6 part.

To Find,

The number =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

Let the number be x.

It is given that x is 25 more than its 5/6 part.

Therefore,

$x = \frac{5}{6}x + 25$

Now, we will solve the above equation and find the value of x.

Taking all the x terms to one side and the other terms to another side.

$x - \frac{5}{6}x = 25$

$\frac{6x-5x}{6} = 25$

$\frac{x}{6} = 25$

$x = 25*6 = 150$

Hence, the number is 150.
