Question

if 3/5 of a number exceeds its 2/7 by 44. Find the number​

please answer!!

Answer 1

$\red{\bf {Explanation:}}$

$\bold{Let \:the \:number\: be\: x}$

$\frac{3}{5} \:of \:a \:number = \frac{3x}{5}$

$\frac{2}{7} \:of \:a \:number = \frac{2x}{7}$

$\small\textbf\color{orange}{According to the problem given,}$

$\small\textbf\color{magenta}{"3/5 of a number exceeds its 2/7 by 44"}$

$\frac{3x}{5}-\frac{2x}{7}$

$\implies \frac{21x-10x}{35}$

$\implies \frac{11x}{35}$

$\implies x = 44 \times \frac{35}{11}$

$\implies x = 4 \times 35$

$\implies x = 140$

$\bold\color{red}{Therefore,}$

$\color{olive}\underline{\underline{ \tt{{ \boxed {x = 140x} }}}}$

Thankyou :)
