Answer 1

Let the required number be ( k ),



According to the question,




1 / 4 of k = 1 / 5 of k + 4

$\frac{k}{4} = \frac{k}{5} + 4 \\ \\ \\ => \frac{k}{4} - \frac{k}{5} = 4 \\ \\ => \frac{5k - 4k}{20} = 4 \\ \\ \\ = > k = 80$



Required number is 80

Answer 2

Heya !!

Let number be X.

According to the question,

X/4 = X/5 + 4

X/4 = X + 20/5

5X = 4X + 80



5X - 4X = 80



X = 80.



Number = X = 80
