Answer 2

In the above Question , the following information is given -

A number when decreased by one fourth of itself it becomes 12 .

To find -

Find the required number .

Solution -

Here the following statement is given -

A number when decreased by one fourth of itself it becomes 12 .

Now , let us assume that the required number is X .

Now ,

One fourth of the number -

=> [ x / 4 ]

So , the LHS becomes -

=> x - ( x / 4 )

=> ( 3 x / 4 ) .

But , this is equal to 12 .

=> [ 3 / 4 ] x = 12

=> 3x = 48

=> x = 16 .

Thus , the required number is 16 .

This is the answer .
