Question

Three seventh of a number is greater than 2/5 of the number by 4. Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

(3x/7)-(2x/5)= 4

(15x-14x)/35= 4

x/35= 4

Thus, x= 35x4= 140

Let's check the result.

3/7 of 140= 420/7= 60

2/5 of 140= 280/5= 56

Difference= 60-56=4
