Question

b) If 3/5 times a number taken away from 16, the result is the number itself
what is the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{5}$ of the number (considering the number to be x) the number is $\frac{3x}{5}$

According to question, 16 - $\frac{3x}{5}$ = x

=> $\frac{80-3x}{5} = x$

=> 80 -3x = 5x

=> -3x - 5x = 80

=> -8x = 80

=> -10
