Question

Thrice a number when decreased by one fourth gives 11. Find the number.​

Answer 1

The original number is $\frac{15}{4}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be x.

The equation given is:

$3x-\frac{1}{4}=11$

Solve the above equation for x as follows:

$3x-\frac{1}{4}=11$

  $\frac{12x-1}{4}=11$

$12x-1=44$

     $12x=45$

         $x=\frac{45}{12}$

         $x=\frac{15}{4}$

Thus, the original number is $\frac{15}{4}$.
