Question

A mystery number is divided by 6000. the result is then multiplied by 41. the final result after 0.31 is added is 0.679. what is the mystery number at first?

Answer 1

x = 54

Explanation:

Let x be the "mystery number."

If we divide x by 6000 [(x/6000)] and then multiply by 41 [(x/6000)*41] and then add 0.31 [(x/6000)*41 + 0.31], the result is 0.679:

(x/6000)*41 + 0.31 = 0.679

( 41x/6000) + 0.31 = 0.679

( 41x/6000) = 0.369

x = (0.369*(6000))/41

x = 54
