Question

if 15% of 60 is greater than 25% of number by 3 then find the number​

Answer 1

Given:

15% of 60 is greater than 25% of the number by 3.

To find:

The number.

Solution:

Let the required number be x.

Now,

15% of 60

$= \frac{15}{100} \times 60$

$= 9$

Also,

25% of x

$= \frac{25}{100} \times x$

$= \frac{1}{4} x$

Now,

according to the question,

15% of 60 - 25% of x = 3

$= 9 - \frac{1}{4} x = 3$

After multiplying 4 on both sides, we get

$36 - x = 12$

On solving the above, we get

$x = 36 - 12$

$x = 24$

Hence, the required number is 24.
