Answer:

The number is 226.

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

Given:

The number is greater than two hundred twenty-five.

So we can say that;


x>225 equation 1

Also Given:

Her number is less than 2 hundreds,2 tens, and 7 ones.

Now we can say that 2 hundreds,2 tens, and 7 ones is equal to 227

So now the number is less than 227.


x<227 equation 2

From equation 1 and equation 2 we can say that;


225<x<227 equation 3

Also,


225<226<227 equation 4

Comparing equation 3 and 4 we get;


x=226

Hence The number is 226.
