Question

Find the number if 6 by 5 of a number is 24

Answer 1

Given,

6/5 of the main number is 24

To find,

The main number.

Solution,

Let, the main number = x

(Assume x as a variable to do the further mathematical calculations.)

6/5 of the main number = 6/5 × x = 6x/5

According to the data mentioned in the question,

6x/5 = 24

x = 24×5/6

x = 20

The value of the assumed variable x is 20. So, the main number will be also 20. This value of the main number satisfy all the criteria mentioned in the question.

Hence, the main number is 20.
