I am a 2 digit number. If you divide me by 5 then multiply by 2, the product is 20. What number am i
50
To solve this problem, we need to find a two-digit number that, when divided by 5 and then multiplied by 2, gives a product of 20.
Let's define the unknown two-digit number as "x."
According to the given information, dividing "x" by 5 and then multiplying by 2 gives the product 20:
(x ÷ 5) × 2 = 20
To solve the equation, we can first simplify it by performing the division:
(x/5) × 2 = 20
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the division:
x × 2 = 20 × 5
Simplifying further:
2x = 100
Now divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate "x":
2x/2 = 100/2
x = 50
Therefore, the two-digit number is 50.
