    is 45 more than 7 times the number. Find the number.
    A 23.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 17.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number be ‘x’
    Then, according to the question,
    (11x – 25) = 7x + 45
    Or, 11x – 7x = 45 + 25
    Or, 4x = 70
    So, x = (70/4) = 17.5
