Question

If 1/4 of a number is added to 1/3 of that number, the result is 15 quarter than half of that number. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Number is 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the number is x.

If 1/4 of a number is added to 1/3 of that number, the result is 15 quarter than half of that number.

As per given condition,

1/4 × x + 1/3 × x = 15 + 1/2 × x

→ x/4 + x/3 = 15 + x/2

→ x/4 + x/3 - x/2 = 15

→ (3x + 4x - 6x)/12 = 15

→ x/12 = 15

→ x = 180

Hence, the number is 180.
