What is the unitary method?
The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.
We have been given the number that is 40% more than five more than a number a.
We need to find the unknown number a.
So, 40 % = 0.4
Let find the first part that is; "the number that is 40% more than five"
5 × 0.4 = 2
Now, five more than a number a.
2 + 5 = a
a = 7
Therefore, the number a would be 7 which is 40% more than five more than a number a.
