Question

Reetu thinks of a number and subtracts 3/5 from it. She multiplies the result by 6. The result now obtained is 4 times the same number she thought of.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number chosen by anita be S.

She subtracts 32 from it, so it becomes S-32.

Now this is multiplied by 8, so it becomes (S-32)×8………..(1)

This value is 5 times the original value, which is 5×S………….(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

(S-32)×8=5×S

-> 8S-256 = 5S

-> 3S=256

-> S=256÷3

-> S= 85.333333333

Therefore number chosen by Anita is 85.33333333.
