Question

If 150 is subtracted from two-third of a number, the result is equal to the sum of 40
and one-fourth of that number. The number is ...
A) 426
B) 446
C) 456
D) 476

Answer 1

Answer:

It is Option C = 456

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

As per question, the equation will be,

2/3 * x - 150 = 40 + 1/4 *x

2/3x - 1/4x = 40 + 150

5/12x = 190

x = 190 * 12/5 = 38 * 12 = 456 (option c)
