A number whose fifth part increased by 4 is equal to its fourth part diminished by 10. The number is:

  • A.240
  • B.260
  • C.280
  • D.300

Answer: C

Let the number be x.

The equation is \(\frac{x}{5} + 4 = \frac{x}{4} - 10\).

\(4 + 10 = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{x}{5}\).

\(14 = \frac{5x - 4x}{20}\).

\(14 = \frac{x}{20}\).

\(x = 14 \times 20 = 280\).
