Three-fifth of a number is more than one-fifth of the number by 4

To Find:

Find the number

Solution:

Let the number be x

Three-fifth of a number =$\frac{3}{5}x$

One-fifth of a number = $\frac{x}{5}$

We are given that Three-fifth of a number is more than one-fifth of the number by 4

So, $\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{x}{5}=4\\\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{5}=4\\\Rightarrow 2x=4 \times 5\\\Rightarrow x = \frac{4 \times 5}{2}\\\Rightarrow x=10$

Hence The number is 10
