Question

If three fifth of a number is four more than half of a number, then what is the number?

Answer 1

Let the number be x

3x/5 = 4 + 1x/2

3x/5 - 1x/2 = 4

x = 40

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be  $x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{5}$ of a number be $\frac{3x}{5}$

         &

$\frac{1}{2}$ of a number be $\frac{1x}{2}$

So,

BY THE PROBLEM

$\frac{3x}{5} =4+\frac{1x}{2} \\= > \frac{3x}{5} -\frac{1x}{2} =4\\= > \frac{6x-5x}{10} =4\\= > \frac{x}{10}=4\\= > x=4*10\\= > x=40$

IMPORTANT NOTE

YOU WILL HAVE TO GIVE THIS ' => ' sign otherwise marks will be deducted

IN THE ABOVE PROBLEM  

'*' INDICATES MULTIPLY ' X '
