Answer: a = 12

Step by step Explanation:

Given that 427  < product of 51

A number = 185

In order to solve the problem we need to create an equation that we can resolve  

Let the number we are finding = a

51a – 427 = 185   (translate the word problem into an equation form)

51a = 185 + 427

51a =  612

a = 612 / 51

a =  12
