Question

a number is 56 greater than the average of its third quater and one twelfth. find it

Answer 1

Hey

Here is the answer.

Let the no . be x

3/4 th of x = 3x/4

1/4 th of x = x/4

average of 3x/4 and x/4 = (3x/4 + x/4 )/2 = x/2

according to question;

x = x/2 + 56

or, x/2 = 56

so, x = 112.

So, the no. is 112.

Thanks.
