Answer 1

Answer:

let that number be x

$25x+125=24x+625$⇒

$25x-24x=625-125$ ⇒

$x=500$ Bacause

$25(500)+125=24(500)+625$

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The required number is 500.

Given:

125 more than 25 of a certain number is 625 more than 24 times that number

To find:

The number

Solution:

Let the required number be X.

Now, we will obtain the required values and form an equation.

125 more than 25 of X=25×X+125

=25X+125 (1)

Similarly, 625 more than 24 times X=24X+625. (2)

On equating (1) and (2), we get

25X+125=24X+625

25X-24X=625-125

X=500

Therefore, the required number is 500.
