Question

Name the number that is three more than one-fifth of one-tenth of one-half of 5,000

Answer 1

one-half of 5,000

⇒ 1/2 x 5000 = 2500

one-tenth of 2500

⇒ 1/10 x 2500 = 250

one fifth of 250

⇒1/5 x 250 = 50

three more than 50

⇒ 50 + 3 = 53

Answer: The number is 53

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 53.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number,

Since, x = three more than one-fifth of one-tenth of one-half of 5,000,

$x=3+\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{1}{10}\times \frac{1}{2}\times 5000$

$x=3+\frac{5000}{100}$

$x=3+50$

$\implies x = 53$

Hence, the number is 53.
