Solve the following riddle:
I am a number,
Tell my identity!
Take me seven times over
And add a fifty!
To reach a triple century
You still need forty!
Let us assume the number be x
So, according to the riddle given in the question:
(7x + 50) + 40 = 300
7x + 90 = 300
7x = 300 – 90
7x = 210
Now,
We have to divide both the sides by 7
=
7x = 210
x = 30
Hence,
The required number be 30
