Question 401175: Hai sir, pls help me on this, i got stuck on this
Find a number which is greater than one-fifth of itself by 12 Answer by sofiyac(983) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let that number be x, then in order to make an equality you would say mulitply every term by 5 in order to get rid of the fraction
60=4x
15=x
To check your answer: x is 15, and when you times it by 1/5 you get 3, so 15 is greater than 3 by 12 :)
