To Find:

The number

Solution

Define x:

Let x be the number

Form the equation:

$(x - \dfrac{1}{4} )\times \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{1}{4}x - \dfrac{1}{16} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{1}{4}x =\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{16}$

$\dfrac{1}{4}x = \dfrac{9}{16}$

$x = \dfrac{9}{16} \times 4$

$x = \dfrac{3}{4}$
