  • Question
  • If the sum of one-half and one-fifth of the number exceeds one-third of that number by 7 1/3 , the number is


  • Options
  • A. 15
  • B. 18
  • C. 20
  • D. 30

  • Correct Answer
  • 20 

    Explanation

    Let us assume the number is a.
    Given that 7 1/3 = 22/3
    According to question,
    a x 1/2 + a x 1/5 = a x 1/3 + 22/3
    ? a/2 + a/5 = a/3 + 22/3
    ? a/2 + a/5 - a/3 = 22/3
    ? (15a + 6a - 10a)/30 = 22/3
    ? (15a + 6a - 10a) = 30 x 22/3
    ? 11a = 10 x 22
    ? a = 10 x 2
    ? a = 20
