Question

If 2 upon 5 of a number exceeds it 1 upon 3 by 10 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be x

according to the question,

$\frac{2x}{5} = \frac{x}{3} + 10$

$\frac{2x}{5} = \frac{x + 30}{3}$

$3 \times 2x = 5(x + 30)$

$6x = 5x + 150$

$6x - 5x = 150$

$x = 150$

so, the number is 150
