Answer 1

$\huge \boxed{\pink\star\mathfrak\orange{\large{\underline{\underline{Answer!}}}} }$

Let the unknown number be 'x'

One fifth of x= $\bold{{x}{5}}$

Now, according to the question

$\bold{ \frac{x}{5} - 3 = 8}$

$\implies \bold{ \frac{x}{5} = 8 + 3 }$

$\implies \bold{ \frac{x}{5} = 11}$

$\implies \bold{x = 11 \times 5}$

$\huge \boxed{ \implies{ \mathfrak \purple{x = 55}}}$

$\huge \boxed{\red\star\mathfrak\purple{\large{\underline{\underline{Verification!}}}} }$

$\bold{ \frac{55}{5} = 11}$

3 more than 8= 3+8= 11

11=11
