Answer 2

Answer:

• 27 is the required number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume:

• A number be x.
• One third of a number = x/3

Given that:

• The Sum of a number and its one-third is 36.

⟶ x + x/3 = 36

To Find:

• The number.

Finding the number:

According to the question.

⇒ x + x/3 = 36

Taking 3 LCM in L.H.S.

⇒ (3x + x)/3 = 36

⇒ 4x/3 = 36

Cross multiplication.

⇒ 4x = 3 × 36

⇒ 4x = 108

⇒ x = 108/4

⇒ x = 27

∴ The number = 27
