LET the number be x.
Then,
x/4=1/5 ×(x+1) +3
x/4=(x+1)/5+3
x/4=(x+1+15)/3
x/4=(x+16)/5
5x=4x+64
x=64.
Hence the number is 64.
I hope this helps.

let x be the number.
1/4*x -3 = 1/5(x+1)
x/4-3 = 1/5x +1/5
x/4 -x/5 = 1/5 +3
x/20 = 16/3
x = 320/3
1/4*x -3 = 1/5(x+1)
x/4-3 = 1/5x +1/5
x/4 -x/5 = 1/5 +3
x/20 = 16/3
x = 320/3
