Question

If half the number is added to 16 is 60.what is the number?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 16 + ½ of a number = 60

16 + ½ of n = 60

16 + ½n = 60

½n = 60 - 16

½n = 44

n = 44 ÷ ½ = 44 ✕ (2÷1) = 44 ✕ 2 = 88

Answer is 88.

{ 16 + ½ of 88

= 16 + ½ ✕ 88

= 16 + 44

= 60. }

Answer 2

Given:

Half the number is added to 16 is 60.

To find:

We have to find the number.

Solution:

Let the number be x.

Half of the number is x/2.

Now 16 is added to the number so it becomes x/2+16.

It is equal to 60.

So, we can write-

$\frac{x}{2} + 16 = 60 \\ \frac{x}{2} = 44 \\ x = 88$

The value of x is 88.

Hence the number is 88.
