Answer:
81.11 in decimal
81 1/9 in fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
1.9 time a number is equal to 1.9x
1.7 plus 1.9 times a number is equal to 1.7 + 1.9x
Now given that
1.7 plus 1.9 times a number equals the sum of the number and 74.7
mathematically we have relation equation as
1.7 + 1.9x = x + 74.7
subtracting 1.7 from both side
1.7 + 1.9x - 1.7 = x + 74.7 - 1.7
=> 1.9x = x + 73
subtracting x from both side
1.9x - x = x + 73 - x
0.9x = 73
dividing both side by 0.9
0.9x/0.9 = 73/0.9
x = 81.11 or 81 1/9
Thus, the number is
81.11 in decimal
81 1/9 in fraction
