what is the number?

One-fourth of a number is three more than one-seventh of same number.The required number is 28.

Solution:

Let’s assume require number be x

One fourth of a number =

One seventh of a number =

Given that one fourth of a number is 3 more than one seventh of a number

So in other words if we add 3 to one seventh of a number, we will get one fourth of a number.

4(x+21) = 7x  

4x + 84 = 7x

84 = 7x – 4x  

3x = 84  

x = 28

Hence required number is 28.
