Problema Solution
If 5 times a number is increased by 50, the result is the same as when 200 is decreased by this number. Find the number.
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'n' represent the number, then we have:
5n + 50 = n + 200
solving for 'n' we have n=37.5
the number is 37.5, which indicates a probable error in the problem statement since this type of problem will typically have an integer answer
