Question

Four more than two thirds of a number is 22. Find the number

Answer 1

We'll call the unknown number "n."

Four more than two thirds of a number is 22.
Four more than (two thirds of a number) is 22.
4 + (two thirds of a number) = 22
4 + ($\frac{2}{3}$ * n) = 22

Now, we solve.
4 + ($\frac{2}{3}$ * n) = 22
4 + ($\frac{2}{3}$ * n) - 4 = 22 - 4
($\frac{2}{3}$ * n) = 18
($\frac{2}{3}$ * n) / ($\frac{2}{3}$) = 18 / ($\frac{2}{3}$)
n = 18 * ($\frac{3}{2}$)
n = 27

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Let number= X 
2/3X +4 =22 
2/3X= 22-4= 18 
2/3X=18 
X= (18*3)/2 
X = 27
