Question

If three-fifth of a number is 40 more than 40% of the same number. what is the number?

Answer 1

3/5 x = 40 + 0.4 x
0.2 x = 40
x= 200

Answer 2

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

So, three fifth of number = $\frac{3}{5} x$

40 % of the number = $40\% \times x =\frac{40}{100}x=0.4x$

Since we are given that three-fifth of a number is 40 more than 40% of the same number.

So, $\frac{3}{5} x= 40+0.4x$

$3x= 5(40+0.4x)$

$3x= 200+2x$

$3x-2x= 200$

$x= 200$

Hence the number is 200
