Question

Find a number when divided by 5, decreases by 100

Answer 1

$\frac{x}{5} = x - 100 \\ 5x - 500 = x \\ 4x = 500 \\ x = 125$

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the no . be x

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the condition ,

$\frac{x}{5} = x - 100$

$x = 5(x - 100)$

$x = 5x - 500$

$5x - x = 500$

$4x = 500$

$x = \frac{500}{4}$

$x = 125$

Hence ,

The required number is 125 .
