Ram thinks of a number . If he takes away 7 from 5/2 of number ,the result is 23 , then what's a number *
Given: Ram thinks a number that if 7 is taken from $\frac{5}{2}$ of that number, the result is 23.
To find: We have to find the number.
Solution:
Let the number be = a
$\frac{5}{2}$ of the number = $\frac{5a}{2}$
Now according to the problem:
$\frac{5a}{2}$ - 7 = 23
$\frac{5a}{2}$ = 23 + 7
$\frac{5a}{2}$ = 30
a = $\ \frac{30\ \times \ 2}{5}$
a = 12
So, the required number is 12.
