Question

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

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number = x

According to the condition 

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

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number = x

According to the condition

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
