Question

find the number whose fifth part increased by 5 is equal to its fourth part diminished by 5

Answer 1

Hey,
Thanks for asking this question.

Let that required number is N.

So,according to the question,
Fifth part increased by 5, of N = N/5 + 5

And

Fourth part diminished by 5, of N = N/4 - 5

Since fifth part increased by 5 of the number is equal to the fourth part diminished by 5,

=> N/5 + 5 = N/4 - 5

=> N/4 - N/5 = 10

=> N/20 = 10

=> N = 200.


●●●So the correct answer is 200.
