Question

One sixth of a number when subtracted from the number itself gives 25 then find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

one sixth of that number = 1/6 x

=> x - 1/6 x =25

after taking LCM:

6x-1x/6 = 25

5x/6=25

5x = 25 × 6

x = 150/5

x = 30

therefore the number is 30.
