If 2/5 of a number is removed from 3/4 of the same number the result is 26 find the number

Answer 1

Let the number be x.

According to the problem,

3/4x - 2/5x = 26

Multiplying both sides by 20 (the lowest common multiple of 4 and 5), we get:

15x - 8x = 520

7x = 520

x = 74

Therefore, the number is 74.

Answer 2

since when does 520/7 = 74?

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake.

Dividing 520 by 7 gives:

520 ÷ 7 = 74 2/7

Therefore, the correct answer is:

x = 74 2/7

or approximately:

x ≈ 74.29
