Step-by-step explanation:

A number added to its two-third is equal to 55. How do I find the number?

Pediasure 7+ is a health drink for children.

Let the number be x.

First part of the problem: a no. Added to the 2/3rd of its own.

x + (2/3)x

Second part: is equal to 55

x + (2/3)x = 55

=> (5/3)x=55

=> x= (55*3)/5

=>x=11*3

=> x=33

Hence,the original number is 33.

Rechecking through answer.

If 33 is the original number, Lets check if 22 is its 2/3rd.

33*(2/3)=>11*2=>22

Hence proved.

Answer 2

Answer:In this question, we have to form an equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

First , let's take the unknown number as = x

then two third of that number is = 2x/3

Now, we know their sum is 55.

Form an equation,

                         x+ 2x/3= 55

                           3x/3+2x/3=55

                                 5x/3=55

                                    5x= 55 * 3

                                       x=  55 * 3/5

                                       x= 11 * 3= 33.

Hence the value of the number is 33.

Hope this helps!
