Two-thirds of a number is 14 less than the number itself. The number is:
Answer: B
Let the number be \(x\). Then \(x - \dfrac{2}{3}x = 14\), which gives \(\dfrac{1}{3}x = 14\) and \(x = 42\). Check: two-thirds of 42 is 28, and \(42 - 28 = 14\). Notice the leftover fraction is always one minus the given fraction.
