Answer 1

Answer:

196

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose

Number is =X

Then according to the given condition

X*1/2+32=130

X/2+32=130

X+64=130*2

X+64=260

X=260–64

X=196

We can verify our answer by putting the value of X in the given eqn

. 196*1/2+32=130

98+32=130

130=130

Which is true.
