Answer:

The number is: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the English expression to a mathematical equation:

an unknown number → x

so we have [tex]\frac{3}{5} x[/tex]

is → =

4 more  → 4+

1/2 of → 1/2 x 10

this gives you the equation:  [tex]\frac{3}{5} x = 4 + \frac{1}{2} (10)[/tex]

You then solve for x:  (3x)/5 = 4 + 5

(3x)/5 = 9

x = 9(3/5) = 15
