Question

find the number which is 24 more than its two fifths

Answer 1

let number is x
x=2/5x+24
3/5x=24
x=40

Answer 2

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Two-Fifth of a number = $\frac{2}{5} x$

Since we are given that the number is 24 more than its two fifths.

So,  $x-\frac{2}{5} x=24$

$\frac{5x-2x}{5}=24$

$\frac{3x}{5}=24$

$3x=24 \times 5$

$3x=120$

$x=\frac{120}{3}$

$x=40$

Hence the number is 40 .
