Question
One-fifth of a number is $5$ less than that number.
✓
Answer
Let the number be $x.$
Then, $\frac{1}{5}\text{th}$ of the number $=\frac{\text{x}}{5}$
Now, $\frac{\text{x}}{5}$ is $5$ less than $x.$
So, the equation formed is $\frac{\text{x}}{5}=\text{x}-5.$
Then, $\frac{1}{5}\text{th}$ of the number $=\frac{\text{x}}{5}$
Now, $\frac{\text{x}}{5}$ is $5$ less than $x.$
So, the equation formed is $\frac{\text{x}}{5}=\text{x}-5.$
