twenty-five percent of a number is equal to 8 less than one-third of the same number. What is the number?

The number you're looking for is 96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our number will be x.

0.25 (x) = 1/3x - 8

First, subtract 1/3 from both sides. You end up with - 0.83333x = - 8

Then, divide both sides by - 0.83333. You end up with 96.
