Question

If you subtract $\frac{1}{4}$ from a number and multiply the result by $\frac{1}{2}$, you get $\frac{1}{4}$. What is the number?

• A. 1/4
• B. 2/4
• C. 3/4
• D. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is C

3/4

Let the number be x.

$(x-\frac{1}{4})\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow x-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$

$x=\frac{3}{4}$
