Given

Student a Number added to 20 and divided by 5 gives 200 as the answer.

TO FIND

The correct answer.

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows -

Let the number be, x

and the quotient be y

So,

x/5 = y

The correct answer should be, y + 20

According to the question,

Add 20 to the number: x + 20

Divided by 5: x+ 20 / 5

The answer = 200

We can write it as -

$\frac{x + 20}{5} = 200$

Solving the above equation we get,

$x + 20 = 1000$

x = 980

Now, to get the correct answer,

Divide this number by 5 and add 20 to the quotient.

= 980/5 = 196

= 196+20

= 216

Hence, The Correct Answer Should Have Been 216.
