$x - \frac{3}{5} x = 62 \\ \frac{5x - 3x}{5} = 62 \\ 2x = 310 \\ x = \frac{310}{2 } = 155$

Answer 2

Answer: The number is 155.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the difference between a number and its three fifths is 62.

Let the number be x.

So, the three fifths of number be $\frac{3}{5}x$

So, According to question,

$x-\frac{3x}{5}=62\\\\\frac{5x-3x}{5}=62\\\\\frac{2x}{5}=62\\\\x=62\times \frac{5}{2}\\\\x=31\times 5\\\\x=155$

Hence, the number is 155.
