Question

if 3/5 of a number exceeds it's 2/7 by 44. find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

$\frac{3}{5} \: of \: x = \frac{3}{5} \times x \\ \: = \frac{3x}{5}$

$\frac{2}{7} \: of \: x = \frac{2}{7} \times x \\ \: \: = \frac{2x}{7}$

$\frac{3x}{5} \: exceeds \: \frac{2x}{7} \: by \: 44 \\ \frac{3x}{5} - \frac{2x}{7} = 44 \\ \frac{21x - 10x}{35} = 44 \\ 11x = 44 \times 35 \\ x = \frac{44 \times 35}{11} \\ x = 4 \times 35 \\ x = 140$
