Find difference i.e 100-82=18
if 82 is 100%, what about 18?
(18*100)/82= 21.951 ans
State the given in the question
Given that the sum of a number and 3 is subtracted from, the result is 5
State what is to be found in the question
We are to find the number. In other to achieve this, we would follow the steps below:
Step 1: Represent the number with an unknown
Let x represent the number
Step 2: Interpret the given statement mathematically
If x is the number, then the sum of the number and 3 would be

Then the sum of a number and 3 subtracted from 10 would be

Finally, when the sum of a number and 3 subtracted from 10, the result is 5, would be

Step 3: Solve for x in the mathematical interpretation of the given statement
The value of x is as calculated as shown below:

Hence, the number is 5
7 + 5 + 4 = 16, so probability of getting a red is 4 out of 16 which can be simplified as 1 in 4 chances
