Answer 1

Hello Dear!!!

Here's your answer...

Let,

The number be 'x'

one fifth of a number is 

1/5 * x

x/5

one fourth of a number is 

1/4 * x

x/4

one fifth of x is 5 less than one fourth of x

x/5 + 5 = x/4

5 = x/4 - x/5

5 = 5x/20 - 4x/20

5 = 5x-4x/20

5 = x/20

5*20 = x

100 = x

The unknown number is 100
