If a number is much greater than the sum of its 12th and 8th parts as is less than 258 ? then what will be the number?
Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- x - (x/12) + (x/8) = 258 - x
24x - 2x - 3x = 24*258 - 24x
43x = 24*258
x = 24*6 = 144 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(1)
- Let the number be X.
Then its 12th and 8th parts are X/12 and X/8
Sum of X/12 and X/8 = X/12 + X/8 = 5X/24
From the given question, we have X - 5X/24 = 258-X
19X/24 = 258 - X
19X = 24 x 258 - 24X
19X + 24X = 6192
43X = 6192
X = 144
Hence the number is 144. - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- 144
x-(x/12 + x/8) = 258-x
solve it
result is 144 - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- (x/12)+(x/8)=20x/96=5x /24
x-(5x/24)=258-x
19x/24=258-x
19x=24*258-24x
19x+24x=6192
43x=6192
x=6192/43
x=144 - 3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
