Question

A number when added to its half given 60 find the number

Answer 1

answer is 40
solution: LET THE NO. BE x
Then, according to question
x+1/2x=60
then 3/2x=60
x=60×2/3
x=120/3
x=40

Answer 2

Let the no. Be x.

Solution- x+ x/2 = 60
Thus, (2x+x)/2 = 60

(3x)/2 = 60

3x =60 x 2 = 120

Therefore x= 120^3= 40

Hence, x= 40 and 1/2x= 40^2 = 20
