Question

twenty-five percent of a number is equal to 8 less than one-third of the same number. What is the number?

Answer 1

The number you're looking for is 96.

Explanation:

Our number will be x.

0.25(x) = 1/3x - 8

First, subtract 1/3 from both sides. You end up with -0.83333x = -8

Then, divide both sides by -0.83333. You end up with 96.
