Question

If 50 is subtracted from two third of a number and the result is equal to the sum of 40 and 1/4th of that number.Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

two third of a number=2x/3

50 subtracted from 2x/3=2x/3-50

sum of 40 and 1/4th of that number=40+1x/4

given equation,

2x/3-50=40+1x/4

2x/3-1x/4=40+50

8x-3x/12=90

5x/3=90

5x=270

x=270/5

=54
