Answer» Answer: Step-by-step explanation: ASSUME that the number is x. If 1/4 of a number is ADDED to 1/3 of that number, the RESULT is 15 quarter than half of that number. As per given condition, 1/4 × x + 1/3 × x = 15 + 1/2 × x → x/4 + x/3 = 15 + x/2 → x/4 + x/3 - x/2 = 15 → (3x + 4x - 6x)/12 = 15 → x/12 = 15 → x = 180 Hence, the number is 180. |
