Question

one fourth of a number is exceed or one fifth of its succeeding number by 3 find the number

Answer 1

let the number =x
one fourth of the number exceeds one fifth of its succeeding number by 5

x/4 - (x+1)/5=5

[5x-4(x+1)]/20 = 5
5x-4x-4=20*5
x-4 =100
x= 100+4
x= 104
the required number = x=104
