Question

Ramya thought a number, halved it and then added 2. The sum divided by 3 gave the quotient 5. What was the number ramya thought of?​

Answer 1

Let the number she thought of be 'x'

Now, she halved it and added two so it became x/2 +2

Next, she divided the sum and got 5. so the final equation is

$(\frac{x}{2} +2)/3= 5$

(x +4)/6=5

x+4=30

x=26

The number she thought of was 26
