Question

if 3 is subtracted to a number and the sum is multiplied by 5 the number thus obtained is 575 find the original number

Answer 1

118

Explanation:

Let the original number be x.

After subtracting 3, the result is x - 3.

When this result is multiplied by 5, we get (x - 3) * 5 = 575.

Expanding and solving for x, we have:

5x - 15 = 575

5x = 590

x = 118

So the original number was 118.
