Three times what number number gets you 60

1 answer

To find the number, let's assume it is represented by "x".

According to the problem, three times the number gets you 60, so you can set up the equation as follows:

3x = 60

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 3:

x = 60/3

Simplifying, x = 20

Therefore, the number is 20.
