Solve it by reversing what is done to the number. You don't need an equation to do that.

17 is 7 less than ...

so adding 7 to 17, making 24, will give you ... one-fourth of the number. If 24 is one-fouth of the number, multiplying 24 by 4 will give you the number. Doing that tells you the number is 96.

_____

You can do the same solution process using an equation.

(1/4)n - 7 = 17 . . . . . 7 less than 1/4 of a number is 17

(1/4)n = 24 . . . . . . . add 7

n = 4·24 = 96 . . . . multiply by 4

The number is 96.

AfilCa [17]

The set of all possibilities is called sample space and is denoted by S.

So, S = {NBD, NDB, BDN, BND, DBN, DNB} and n(S) = 8

and we need to find the probability of NBD

E = {NBD} and n(E) = 1

The probability of an even is defined by p(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)}

Hence,  p(E) = \frac{1}{8}
