Question

Ten subtracted from the qoutient of a number 5 is 18

Answer 1

Question:

Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 is 18. What is the number?

Answer:

140 is the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider the number as ‘X’

Quotient of a number and 5 can be written as

                         $X \div 5$

Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 can be written as

                        $(X \div 5) - 10$

Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 is 18 can be written as

                        $(X \div 5) - 10 = 18$

By solving the above equation, find ‘X’

                        $(X \div 5) = 18 + 10$

                        $\frac{X}{5} = 28$

                        $X = 28 \times 5 = 140$
