Question

If 3/5 of a number is 23 more than 50% of the same number than what will be 80%of that number

Answer 1

Let x be the number, then

$\frac{3}{5}x=23+\frac{1}{2}x$

Therefore, $\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{1}{2}x=23$

$\frac{1}{10}x=23,$

$x=230$

$80$% of the number is $\frac{80}{100}\times 230=184$

The answer is $184$.
