Answer 2

The value of the number he chose is 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number is x.

Solution

On deducting 5 from it, x becomes= x-5

Dividing the result by 3 = (x-5)÷3

Since the result is 25, equation becomes:

(x-5)÷3= 25

Solving the equation:

x-5= 25×3

x= 75+5

x= 80

Result:

Thus, the value of the number he chose is 80.
