Given :
If a number is multiplied by two fifth of itself, then the value obtained is 7840.
To Find :
- What is the number?
Solution :
Let the number be x.
According to the question,
- If it is multiplied by two fifth of itself, the value obtained is 7840.
↦ x × 2x/5 = 7840
↦ 2x²/5 = 7840
↦ 2x² = 7840 × 5
↦ x² = 39200/2
↦ x = √19600
↦ x = 140
Therefore, the number is 140.
VERIFICATION :
⟼ x × 2x/5 = 7840
Substituting x = 140, we get
⟼ 140 × 140 × 2/5 = 7840
⟼ 140 × 28 × 2 = 7840
⟼ 280 × 28 = 7840
⟼ 7840 = 7840
⟼ LHS = RHS
Hence, verified. ✔️
