Question

If 3/5 of a number exceeds its 2/7by44 find the number

Answer 1

Answer :

Suppose that number is N.

According to the question,
3/5th of N exceeds its 2/7 by 44

=> (3/5)N - (2/7)N = 44

=> (21 N - 10 N)/35 = 44

=> (11 N)/35 = 44

=> 11 N = 35 × 44

=> N = (35 × 44)/11

=> N = 140

● So the required number is 140.
