When we multiply a number by 6.2 and add 8 to the product, the answer is 31. What is the number?

Answer: 3.7
Explanation

Let's denote the number as x. The equation based on the given information is:

6.2x + 8 = 31

Step 1: Solve for x

Subtract 8 from both sides:

6.2x = 23

Step 2: Divide by 6.2

x = 23 / 6.2

x = 3.709677...

x ≈ 3.7
