Question

Find a no. such that one one-fourth of the no. is 3 more than 7

Answer 1

Let the number be x.

Given that one-fourth of the number is 3 more than 7.

$\frac{1}{4} *x = 3 + 7$

$\frac{x}{4} = 10$

x = 4 * 10

x = 40.


Therefore the number = 40


Verification:

$\frac{1}{4} * 40 = 3 + 7$

10 = 10


Hope this helps!
