Question

A number when added to its half gives 72. Find the number​

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Let the number be x

From the given data, we get

$x + \frac{1}{2} x = 72 \\ \\ = > \frac{2x + x}{2} = 72 \\ \\ = > \frac{3x}{2} = 72 \\ \\ = > 3x = 72 \times 2 \\ \\ = > x = \frac{72 \times 2}{3} \\ \\ = > x = 24 \times 2 = 48 \\ \\ = > x = 48$

Therefore,

Required Number is 48.
