Question

IF a number is greater than 18 of its 1/3 then find the number

Answer 1

Given:

A number is greater than 18 than that of its one-third.

To Find:

The required number.

Solution:

Let the number be x.

According to question,

⇒$x=18+\dfrac{1}{3}x$

$\dfrac{3x-x}{3}=18$

⇒$2x=18\times 3$

⇒$x=\dfrac{54}{2}$

⇒x=27

Therefore, the required number is 27.
