Five – fourths of a number is greater than three – fourths of the number by 6. Find the number.

Correct option is C

Given:

Five-fourths of the number = $$\frac{5}{4}x$$​​
Three-fourths of the number = $$\frac{3}{4}x$$​​
Difference = 6

Solution:  

Let the number be x.

then, 

​$$\frac{5x}4 - \frac{3x}{4} = 6$$​​

$$\frac{2}{4}x = 6$$

​$$\frac{1}{2}x = 6$$​

$$x = 12$$ 

thus, the number is 12
