. I am thinking of a whole number. If I divide it by 13,

then multiply the answer by 12, then subtract 20, and
then add 89, I end up with 93. What was my original
number?

What is this a trick question or a real question on a test?
I think it would be 26.
(x/13)(12)-20+89 = 93
x = 26
I just solved it. Yes it would be 26. Would you like to see how I got that answer?
26/13 = 2
2 x 12 = 24
24 - 20 = 4
89 + 4 = 93

You answer would be 26.
Did that help?
