Question
One-sixth of a number when subtracted from the number itself gives 25. The number is _______
Solution
30
Explanation;
Hint:
Let the number be x.
As per question, when one-sixth of number is subtracted from itself it gives 25
`x - x/6` = 25
∴ `(6x - x)/6` = 25
∴ `(5x)/6` = 25
∴ x = `(25 xx 6)/5`
= 5 × 6
= 30
