Question

The difference between a number and its three-fourth is $35$. What is the one-fourth of that number?

• A. $140$
• B. $80$
• C. $75$
• D. $35$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$35$

Let the number be $x$.

Then, $x-\frac{3}{4}x=35$
$\Rightarrow \frac{4x-3x}{4}=35$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{4}=35$
Hence, one-fourth of the required number is $35$.
