Question

The difference between number and its three-fifth is 50. What is the number

Answer 1

$<b>Heya mate. (^_-). Solution below.$
====================================

[] Let the number be 'x'.



• Then, 3/5th of x,

= 3/5 × x

= 3x/5



[] Now, according to the question, the difference between the number and three-fifth of the number is 50.

=> x - 3x/5 = 50

=> (5x - 3x)/5 = 50

=> 2x/5 = 50

=> x = 50 × 5/2

=> x = 250/2

=> x = 125

•°• The number = x = 125.

Answer 2

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3x/5 = 50

5x-3x/5 = 50

2x/5 = 50

2x = 50 * 5

2x = 250

x = 250/2

x = 125
