Question

Two third of a number is 68 less than four fifths of the number then find the number

Answer 1

i guess :

equation:$\frac{2}{3}$x = $\frac{4}{5}$x - 68

68 = $\frac{4}{5}$x - $\frac{2}{3}$x = $\frac{2x}{15}$

68 = $\frac{2x}{15}$

2x = 68 x 15 = 1020

2x = 1020

x = $\frac{1020}{2}$ = 510

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is 510

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the number be x.

given: 2/3x=4/5x-68

         ⇒68=4/5x-2/3x

         ⇒68=2/15x

         ⇒2x=68*15

         ⇒2x=1020

         ⇒x=1020/2

         ⇒x=510
