One fourth of a number decreased by 7 gives 5. Find the number.
Given:
One-fourth of a number decreased by 7 gives 5.
To find:
We have to find the number.
Solution:
Let the required number = p
$\frac{1}{4} p\ -\ 7\ =\ 5$
$\frac{1}{4} p\ =\ 5\ +\ 7$
$\frac{1}{4} p\ =\ 12$
$p\ =\ 12\ \times \ 4$
$\mathbf{p\ =\ 48}$
So, the required number is 48.
