Question

Three- fourth of a number exceeds it's one-third by 15​

Answer 1

Answer:

Number is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be "x"

ATQ,

(3/4)*x = (1/3)*x + 15

3x/4 = x/3 + 15

3x/4 = (x + 45)/3

9x = 4(x + 45) ......Cross multiplying

9x = 4x + 180

5x = 180

x = 180/5

x = 36

Check:

3/4 of 36 = 27

1/3 of 36 = 12

27 exceeds 12 by 15 ......verified
