Question

Buthaina is thinking of a number.The number is greater than two hundred twenty-five. Her number is less than 2 hundreds,2 tens, and 7 ones.What is Buthaina's number?

Answer 1

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.
