Question 851994: A student was asked to find 54 of a number. Instead, she found 45 of the number. Her answer was 36 less than the correct answer.
Find the correct answer. Answer by Seutip(231) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let:
x - be the number
54x - 54 of a number
45x - 45 of a number
Since the correct answer (54x) wasn't found, instead the student found (45x) which is 36 less than the correct answer (54x) the equation goes:
45x=54x-36
36=9x
x=4
Therefore the number is 4 and 54 of 4 is, 216!
Hope that helpS!
