Question

find a number such that two fifth of the number is 4 more than 8.

Answer 1

Assume that the number is X.

So, according to the question:

2/5 of X=4 more than 8;

( of = × and more than = + )

2/5 × X = 4+8;

2/5 × X = 12;

X = 12 ÷ 2/5;

X=12 × 5/2;

X=6×5;

X= 30;

The number is 30.

Answer 2

Answer : 30

SOLUTION :

_____________

Let, the number be x

Given that : The number such that two fifth of the number is 4 more than 8

Now, according to the question :

$x \times \frac{2}{5} = 4 + 8\\ \\ = > \frac{2x}{5} = 4 + 8\\ \\ = > \frac{2x}{5} = 12\\ \\ = > 2x = 60 \\ \\ = > x = \frac{60}{2} = 30$

So, the number will be 30
