Question

the sum of one number and its one fourth is 10. Find the number.

Answer 1

Let the number be X

According to the condition;

$x + \frac{x}{4} = 10$

Multiplying the whole equation by 4.

$4x + x = 40$

$5x = 40$

$x = \frac{40}{5}$

$x = 8$

Answer 2

let the no. be x

therefore. other no. will be x/4

A.T.Q

x+(x/4)=10

5x/4=10

5x=40

x=8

hence, no . is 8
