Twenty-seven greater than five divided by a number is eight.

Answer 1

(n/5) + 27 = 8

Answer 2

since "5 divided by a number" is 5/n,

5/9 + 27 = 8

although, these problems are usually as shown by Ms. Sue. So, maybe you mean to say

Twenty-seven greater than a number divided by five is eight.

Answer 3

oops that should have been 5/n in my example, not 5/9.
