Question

The difference between a number and one-fourth of itself is 24. find the number.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

X – (1/4)x = 24

X – (1/4)x = 24⇒ (4x – x)/x = 24 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24

X – (1/4)x = 24⇒ (4x – x)/x = 24 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24⇒ x = 24 × 4/3 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24

X – (1/4)x = 24⇒ (4x – x)/x = 24 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24⇒ x = 24 × 4/3 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24⇒ x = 24 × 4/3 ⇒ x = 8 × 4

X – (1/4)x = 24⇒ (4x – x)/x = 24 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24⇒ x = 24 × 4/3 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24⇒ x = 24 × 4/3 ⇒ x = 8 × 4⇒ x = 32

X – (1/4)x = 24⇒ (4x – x)/x = 24 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24⇒ x = 24 × 4/3 ⇒ 3x/4 = 24⇒ x = 24 × 4/3 ⇒ x = 8 × 4⇒ x = 32∴ Number = 32

hope its help you

Answer 2

Answer:

let x be the number,

by given conditions

x - (1/4) x = 24

multiplying both sides by 4 , we get

4x -x = 24

3x = 24

x = 8
