If a number is decreased by 4 and divided by 6, the result is 8. What would be the result if 2 is subtracted from the number and then it is divided by 5?
Answer: B
Let the number be x.
According to the first condition: \(\frac{x-4}{6} = 8\).
\(x-4 = 48\), so \(x = 52\).
Now, according to the second condition, subtract 2 from the number: \(52 - 2 = 50\).
Then divide by 5: \(50 \div 5 = 10\).
