One fourth of a number is added to one fifth of the same number. If the result is 18, find the number

If one fourth of a number is added to one fifth of the same number, and the result is 18, then the number = 40

Let the given number be represented by x

One-fourth of the number = x/4

One-fifth of the same number = x/5

One-fourth of the number is added to one fifth of the same number =

x/4  +  x/5  

The result is 18

This can be represented mathematically as:

x/4  +  x/5     =  18

Simplifying the equation above

(5x + 4x)/20  =  18

Cross multiply

5x +  4x  =  18(20)

9x  =  360

x   =  360/9

x   =  40

The number = 40
