Question

Ten increased by the quotient of a number and three is equal to nineteen

Find the number
A) 1.5
B) 27
C) 24
D) 0.7

Answer 1

B) 27

Explanation:

Quotient means divide and increased means add

10 + n/3 = 19

Subtract 10 from each side

10-10 + n/3 = 19-10

n/3 = 9

Multiply each side by 3

n/3 *3 = 9*3

n = 27
