Question:
Sue is thinking of a number 3/8 of 88 = 1/3 of her number
what number is she thinking of
Answer:
[tex]x = 99[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the number with x.
So, we have:
[tex]\frac{3}{8} * 88 = \frac{1}{3} *x[/tex]
Multiply through by 3
[tex]3 * \frac{3}{8} * 88 = \frac{1}{3} *x * 3[/tex]
[tex]3 * \frac{3}{8} * 88 = x[/tex]
[tex]3 * 3 * 11 = x[/tex]
[tex]99= x[/tex]
[tex]x = 99[/tex]
Hence, she is thinking of 99
