If 3 times a number exceeds its 3/5 by 60, then what is the number?

Let's denote the number as x.

According to the problem, 3 times the number exceeds its 3/5 by 60. We can write this as an equation:

3x = (3/5)x + 60

To solve for x, we first need to get rid of the fraction. We can do this by multiplying every term by 5:

15x = 3x + 300

Next, we subtract 3x from both sides of the equation to isolate x:

15x - 3x = 300

This simplifies to:

12x = 300

Finally, we divide both sides by 12 to solve for x:

x = 300 / 12

So, x = 25.

Therefore, the number is 25.
