Question

If three times of a number exceeds its 3/5th by 60 then what is the num

Answer 1

Let's number is x
3x-3x/5=60
15x-3x=300
12x=300
X=300/12
X=25

Answer 2

Given: 3 times of a number exceeds its $\frac{3}{5}th$ by 60

To find: The number

Let: The number be $x$

Solution: Given that 3 times of a number exceeds its $\frac{3}{5} th$ by 60.

Now according to the given question and assumption made,

∴   $3x = \frac{3}{5} x + 60$

⇒ $3x = \frac{3x \ + \ 300}{5}$

⇒ $15x = 3x + 300$

⇒ $15x - 3x = 300$

⇒ $12x = 300$

⇒ $x = \frac{300}{12} = 25$

Hence, the required number is 25.
