Question

A number is increased by 12 and the new number obtained is multiplied by 5. If the resulting
number is 95, find the original number.
(with explanation how you did it)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assumption:-

Let the number be x

According to question:-

5(x+12)=95

5x+60=95

5x=95-60

5x=35

x=35/5

x=7

Verification:-

5(x+12)=95

5(7+12)=95

5(19)=95

95=95

Since,LHS=RHS

Hence

The given solution:-

Number=7
