Question

I think of a no. and subtract 3/2 from it, multiply the difference by 4. I obtain the result as 10 . Find the no.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us consider the number chosen by Anita to be X.

she subtracts 32 from that chosen number that is (X-32)

Then she multiplies the number obtained after subtraction by 8 that is (X-32)*8——(1)

It is said that the number obtained after performing operations is equal to 5 times original number chosen by her that is

5*X——————(2)

therefore from equating (1)and (2)

(X-32)*8=5*X

8X-256=5X

3X=256

X=85.333 is the answer
