Question

if one tenth of a number is added to 2. the result is half of that number. what is the number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given question, the calculation of number is shown below:-

Let the number be x.

$\frac{1}{10}$ of x will be added to the number of 2, so that the result is half of x.

$2 + \frac{1}{10} x = \frac{1}{2} x$

Now we will solve the above equation

$2=\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{1}{10} x\\\\2=\frac{2x}{5}\\\\10=2x\\\\\frac{10}{2} =x$

x = 5

Therefore the correct answer is 5

Hence, the number based on the given information provided in the question is 5
