When 44 is subtracted from a number; it reduces to its 60%. Three-fifth of that number is:
- A40
- B60
- C66
- D44
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the number be x.
According to the problem statement:
x−44=60% of x
x−44=0.6x
x−0.6x=44
0.4x=44
x=
0.4
44
=110
Now, we need to find three-fifth of that number:
Required Value=
