Question

6 of 10

© Stephen was thinking of a number. Stephen doubles it, then adds 11 to get an
answer of 47.7. What was the original number?

Answer 1

18.35

Explanation:

This is a question which requires you to work backwards.

Divide means multiply and vice versa

Addition means subtract and vice versa

First, we find the number before 47.7.

47.7-11=36.7

Secondly, we find the number before 36.7, aka the original number.

36.7/2=18.35 (/ sign means divide)
