Answer 2

Question => One fifth of a number increased by 5 gives 6. Find the number.



$\large \star \pink {Answer} \star$ :-

Let the number be x

One fifth of x = $\dfrac{1}{5}$x = $\dfrac{x}{5}$

One fifth of x increased by 5 = $\dfrac{x}{5}$ + 5

Given, its result = 6


According to the question,

$\dfrac{x}{5}$ + 5 = 6

$\dfrac{x}{5}$ = 6 - 5

$\dfrac{x}{5}$ = 1

x = 1 × 5

x = 5


$\therefore{}$ The number is 5
