Question

a number when added to its two third is equal to 55 find the number.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Let us take number as 'x '

When number is added to it's 2/3 it will make 55

x + ( 2x / 3 ) = 55

If we take LCM,

5x / 3 = 55

5x = ( 55 ) ( 3 )

x = ( 55 ) ( 3 ) / ( 5 )

x = ( 11 ) ( 3 )

x = 33

The number is 33

Hope my answer helps!

Answer 2

$\mathbf{Let \: \: the \: \: required \: \: number \: \: is \: \: K, } \\ \\ \textbf{ Given, \: When \: \: added \: \: to \: \: its \: \: two - third \: \: it \: \: becomes \: \: equal \: \: to \: \: 5 5}$

,



According to the question :


$\mathbf{ ( \frac{2}{3} \: of \: \: K) + K = 55} \\ \\ \\ => (\frac{2}{3} \times K ) + K = 55 \\ \\ \\ = > \frac{2K}{3} + K = 55 \\ \\ \\ => \frac{2K +3K}{3} = 55 \\ \\ \\ => \frac{5K}{3} = 55 \\ \\ \\ = > K = \frac{55 \times 3}{5} \\ \\ \\ = > K = 11 \times 3 \\ \\ \\ = > K = 33$




Required number is 33
