Question

If the quotient of three times a number and five is increased by

four, the result is no more than 34.

Answer 1

Answer: We can start by using algebra to represent the given information. Let's call the number we're trying to find "x".

We know that:

quotient = (3x)/5

quotient + 4 <= 34

We can simplify the first equation:

(3x)/5 + 4 <= 34

We can then solve this inequality for x:

(3x)/5 + 4 <= 34

3x/5 <= 30

3x <= 150

x <= 50

So the quotient of three times a number and five is no more than 34 if that number is less than or equal to 50.
