Question

The difference between a number and three fourths of itself is 15. Find the number. ​

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

lets say the number is X so:

X-3/4X=15

then multiple both sides by 4 then you will get

4X-3X=60

SO:X=60

Answer 2

60

Explanation:

let x be the number that we are trying to figure out.

the statement “The difference between a number and three fourths of itself is 15” means x + (3/4)x = 15

then

(1/4)x = 15

Then

x = 4 × 15

Then

x = 60
