Question:

After 27 is subtracted from a number and the difference divided by 5 the quotient is 14. What is the number?

Solution:

Let the number be x.

A/q

$\sf{\dfrac{x-27}{5} = 14}$

$\implies \sf{x-27 = 14 \times 5}$

$\implies \sf{x-27 = 70}$

$\implies \sf{x = 70+27}$

$\implies \sf{x = 97}$

Hence,

The required number is 97.
