Question

A number when added to its two-thirdd is equal to 55. Find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the number be x

According to the problem:

x + $\frac{2x}{3}$ = 55

=> 3x + 2x = 165

=>5x = 165

∴ x = $\frac{165}{5}$ = 33

Answer 2

Answer :

Let the number = X

Two thirds of the number = 2x /3

According to the problem given ,

X + 2x / 3 = 55

(3x + 2x) / 3 = 55

5x /3 = 55

X = (55×3)/5

X = 11×3

X = 33
