Question

II. Solve the following:
a) Anita thinks of a number. If she takes away 7 from 5/6 of that number, the result is
28. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

by taking 7 from 5/6 of number = 5x/6 - 7

as per problem, 5x/6 - 7 = 28

5x/6 - 7 = 28

5x/6 = 28+7

5x/6 = 35

x = 35×6/5

x = 42
