Question

Codi is thinking of a number, 3/4 of that number plus 5/6 of that same number equals 76. What is the number?

Answer 1

(3/4)x + (5/6)x =76

or (9/12)x +(10/12)x =76

(19/12)x=76

x=(12/19)*76

x=12*4.157894737

=49.89473684

Answer 2

The number is x,

3x/4 + 5x/6 =76

19x/12 = 76

x = 12/19 (76)

x = 49.89473684
