Question

Find the number, one third of which is $4$ more than $5$.

• A. $27$
• B. $23$
• C. $25$
• D. $29$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $27$

Let the number be $x$.
According to the given condition,
$\frac{x}{3}=4+5$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=9$

In cross multiplying, we get

$x=3\times 9$

$\Rightarrow x=27$

Hence, the number is $27$.
