Question

I added 15 to the product of 8 and a certain number , the result was 151. What number was that?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b be the two numbers from which consider a = 8 and another number is b.

Given forming the equation as below :

(8*b)+15 = 151

8*b = 151-15

8 * b = 136

b = 136/8

b = 17

So another number was 17.
