Apologies for any confusion. The number mentioned in the previous response (16) does not appear to be correct. To find the number, we need to solve the given equation.
Let's represent the number as "x". The difference between the number and 3 can be written as (x - 3).
According to the problem statement, one-quarter of this difference is equal to 2. Mathematically, this can be represented as:
(1/4) * (x - 3) = 2
To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 to remove the fraction:
4 * (1/4) * (x - 3) = 4 * 2
x - 3 = 8
Next, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation:
x - 3 + 3 = 8 + 3
x = 11
Therefore, the number is 11.
