Solve the problem by setting up and solving an appropriate algebraic equation.
Find a number such that 60 more than one-third of the number equals three-fourths of the number
----------
(1/3)x + 60 = (3/4)x
-----
[(3/4)-(1/3)]x = 60
-----
[(3*3-4*1)/12]x = 60
------
(5/12)x = 60
-----
(1/12)x = 12
x = 144
----------
