Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi ,

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

Therefore ,

Required number = x = 33

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

Two-thirds of the number = 2x/3

According to the given equation,

x + 2x/3 = 55

( 3x + 2x ) / 3 = 55

5x/3 = 55

x = ( 55 × 3 ) / 5

x = 11 × 3

x = 33

therefore,

the required number = x is 33
