Question

60% of a number is 24 less than 3/4th of that number. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of a + 24 = 3a/4

=> 60a/100 + 24 = 3a/4

=> 3a/5 + 24 = 3a/4

=> 3a / 4 - 3a/5 = 24

=> ( 15a - 12a) / 20 = 24

=> 3a / 20 = 24

=> a = 24 × 20 / 3

=> a = 8 × 20

=> a = 160
