75% of a number is 3.6 more than 60%. Find the number

75% of a number is 3.6 more than 60%. Find the number


Let this number be X
Then 75% X-60% x = 3.6
0.15x=3.6
x=3.6÷0.15
x=24
A: the number is 24



75% of a number is 6 less than 24. Find the number (solve the equation)


75%x+6=24



75% of a number is 1 / 4 of 24. What is the number? (use equation solution)


Let this number be X
75% × x = 24 × 1 / 4
0.75x=6
x=6÷0.75
x=8



One sixth of a number is 84 less than 75 percent of it


75%x-(1/6)x=84
3.5x=504
x=144
