Question:
Four-fifth of a number is more than three-fourth of the number by 4. Find the number.
Solution:
Let the number be $\mathrm{x}$.
According to the question,
$\frac{4}{5} \mathrm{x}-\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{x}=4$
or $\frac{16 \mathrm{x}-15 \mathrm{x}}{20}=4$
or $\mathrm{x}=80[$ After cross multiplication $]$
Thus, the required number is 80 .
