Question

If 72, it's quarter, its one eight and 1 are added, then find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

189.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

$\frac{x}{4} + \frac{x}{8} + 1 = 72$

Or,

$\frac{2x}{8} + \frac{x}{8} + \frac{8}{8} = 72$

Or,

$\frac{2x + x + 8}{8} = 72$

Or,

$\frac{3x + 8}{8} = 72$

Or,

$3x + 8 = 72 \times 8 = 576$

Or,

$3x = 576 - 8 = 568$

Or,

$x = \frac{568}{3} = 189.33$

Answer 2

Answer:

answer is 157

Step-by-step explanation:

quarter means 1 of 4,

so if 72 is quarter then the original no. is 72 multiplied by 4 i.e. 148

if 8 and 1 are added to it i.e. 9 is added to it, then the no. becomes 148 + 9

= 157
