Question

One sixth of no. When subtracted from the number itself gives 25

Answer 1

Let the required number be 6x,

According to the question, 1 / 6 of 6x subtract from 6x is 25

6x - ( 1 / 6 of 6x )  = 25

6x - ( 1 / 6 * 6x ) = 25

6x - x = 25

5x = 25

x = $\dfrac{25}{5}$

x = 5

Therefore, 6x = 6( 5 ) = 30

Hence, required number is 30.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - ( 1 / 6 * 6x ) = 25

6x - x = 25

5x = 25

x = 5
