Question

If three-fourth of a number is 72, then find the number.
a. 96 b. 72 c. 76 d. 48​

Answer 1

let the required number is x

now,

3/4 of x = 72

3/4 × x = 72

or, x = 72 ÷ 3/4

or, x = 72 × 4/3

or, x = 24 × 4

x = 96

hence,

the required number is 96

hope it helps you :-)

Answer 2

SOLUTION

TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION

If three-fourth of a number is 72, then find the number.

a. 96

b. 72

c. 76

d. 48

EVALUATION

Let the required number = N

Now three-fourth of the number

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{3}{4} \times N }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{3N}{4} }$

So by the given condition

$\displaystyle \sf{ \frac{3N}{4} = 72 }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies N= 72 \times \frac{4}{3} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies N= 96}$

The required number = 96

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the correct option is a. 96
