Question

Ten subtracted from the qoutient of a number 5 is 18

Answer 1

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`
