Let n represent the number.
<span>.. (3/5)n - 1 = 23 ... three-fifths of a number decreased by one is twenty-three. </span>
<span>Please note that the same English description might be interpreted as </span>
<span>.. (3/5)(n-1) = 23. </span>
<span>We'll use the first interpretation, as it results in the number being an integer. </span>
<span>.. (3/5)n = 24 ... add 1 </span>
<span>.. n = (5/3)*24 ... multiply by 5/3 </span>
<span>.. n = 40 ... carry out the multiplication </span>
<span>The number is 40.</span>
Green: 2/9×100=22. 22%
Red: 4/9×100=44. 44%
Blue: 3/9×100=33. 33%
Probability: 22. 22%+44. 44%+
33.33%= 99.99%
100. 00-99. 99= 00. 01%
