Answer:

175

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see what James DID to the number (let it be x):

x - 5 [firstly he did this]

then

(x - 5)/5

This is equal to 5.

So,

\frac{x-5}{5}=5\\x-5=25\\x=30

So, this number is 30

The correct answer would thus be:

Adding 5 to 30, which gives us 35

And then multiply by 5, which gives us 35 * 5 = 175

padilas [110]

The lot costs 5000 dollars.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The cost of a House and the lot = $40,000.

Let us assume the cost of lot as 'x'

Given that, The cost of the house is 7 times as much as the lot.

Therefore, The cost of the house= 7x

The cost of both the house and the lot= x + 7x

$40,000 = x + 7x

40,000 = 8x

x = 40,000/8

x = 5,000

The lot costs $5000.
