Question

the product of 5 and one fifth of number is number itself​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

One fifth of a number is 8

So, assume the number to be x.

Accordingly,x(1/5) = 8

Now multiply both sides by 5

=> x = 8*5

=> x = 40

So the number assumed x = 40.

Answer 2

Answer:

(1/5)(x)+3=(1/2)(x)

3=(1/2)x-(1/5)x

3=(5/10)x-(2/10)x

3=(3/10)x

3=0.3x

30=3x

x=30/3

x=10
