Question

1/3 times the sum of a number and 2.6 is 4.9

Answer 1

12.1

Explanation:

Let the number be " x ".

The sum of a number and 2.6,

x + 2.6

1/3 times the sum of a number and 2.6

1/3 * ( x + 2.6 ) = ( x + 2.6 )/3

1/3 times the sum of a number and 2.6 is 4.9

( x + 2.6 )/3 = 4.9

x + 2.6 = 4.9 * 3

x + 2.6 = 14.7

x = 14.7 - 2.6

x = 12.1

Therefore,

the number is 12.1
