Question

five TIMES A NUMBER TAKEN AWAY FROM 100 IS TEN MORE THAN THAT NUMBER. Find the number

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Let}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{required}\mathrm{number}=x \\ \mathrm{Now},\mathrm{according}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{question}, \\ 100-5x=x+10 \\ \Rightarrow -5x-x=10-100 \\ \Rightarrow -6x=-90 \\ \Rightarrow x=15 \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{the}\mathrm{required}\mathrm{number}=15 \end{gathered}$$
