This is the exact way that it is written on the homework paper.
Clue 1: I am greater than 15 and less than 40.
Clue 2; if you double me, I become a number that ends in 0.
Clue 3: 1/5 of me is equal to 5.
Answered by Ms. Sue
In clue 3, part is missing in your first post.

Answered by Chelsea
Sorry I didn't realize I missed part of it.
Answered by Ms. Sue
OK. Anyway, the answer is in the previous post linked above.

Answered by Chelsea
The answer on that link would be 25 and 25 doubled isn't less than 50 it is equal to 50.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Ahh -- but the problem states: "<b>If you <u>double</u> me I become a number that ends in 0</b>

The number itself is less than 40.
