Question

\frac{1}{6} t h

of a number is subtracted from 290, the result is equal to 50% of the number. Find the number.___

Answer:
:
Let the number be x.
According to the statement,

290 - \frac{x}{6} = \frac{x}{2}

\frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{6} = 290

\frac{4 x}{6} = 290

or x = 435.
Therefore, the number is 435.
