Answer: 72.

Explanation:

You can solve this by representing the number in an equation that models the problem given. I will use the variable x to represent the number:


x + (1)/(3)x = 96

In the equation, I listed the number and added one-third of the same number to it to equal 96.

Now, solve:


(4)/(3)x = 96\\ \\x = 96 / (3)/(4) \\\\x = 96 * (3)/(4) \\\\x = 72

The number is 72.
