Question:

Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 is 18. What is the number?

Answer:

140 is the number.

Explanation:

Let consider the number as ‘X’

Quotient of a number and 5 can be written as


X / 5

Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 can be written as


(X / 5) - 10

Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 is 18 can be written as


(X / 5) - 10 = 18

By solving the above equation, find ‘X’


(X / 5) = 18 + 10


(X)/(5) = 28


X = 28 * 5 = 140
