Four more than two-thirds of a number is 22. Find the number.
Answer (3)
We'll call the unknown number "n."
Four more than two thirds of a number is 22. Four more than (two thirds of a number) is 22. 4 + (two thirds of a number) = 22 4 + ( 3 2 * n) = 22
Now, we solve. 4 + ( 3 2 * n) = 22 4 + ( 3 2 * n) - 4 = 22 - 4 ( 3 2 * n) = 18 ( 3 2 * n) / ( 3 2 ) = 18 / ( 3 2 )
n = 18 * ( 2 3 )
n = 27
Hope this helps! :)
