Set up the equation from the following and solve:
one- fifth of a number minus 4 gives 3
Given :
The given terms is "One-fifth of a number minus 4 gives 3".
To do :
We have to set up the equation and solve it.
Solution :
Let the number be x.
One-fifth of $x = \frac{1}{5} x$.
Therefore,
$ \frac{1}{5} x - 4 = 3$
Multiply by 5 on both sides,
$5 \times \frac{1}{5} x - 5 \times 4 = 5 \times 3$
$x - 20 = 15$
$x = 15+20$
$x = 35$
Therefore, the number is 35.
