Question

Five times the number is 48 times more than that. Tell the number

Answer 1

let the number be x
$5x = x + 48 \\ 4x = 48 \\ x = 12$

number is 12

Answer 2

Let the required number is x and according to the question five of x is 48 times more than x. So,

five times of x = 48 more than x

5 * x = 48 + x

5x = 48 + x

5x - x = 48

4 x = 48

4x / 4 = 48 / 4

x = 12

Therefore the number satisfying the value of the given equation is 12.
