Question

Breanna thought of a number, added 6 to it, multiplied it by 6, subtracted 6 from her answer, and then divided it by 6. She got a final number of 10. What was her starting number?

Answer 1

Answer:5

Explanation:

If you look at the question in reverse you can backtrack your way through. Take 10 and instead of dividing, multiply it by 10, which is 60, add 6 instead of subtracting, which is 66, divide by 6 instead of multiplying, which is 11 and finally subtract 6 instead of adding, which is 5. Use five and try the question over to make sure you calculated correct.
