I won't state the exact number so other people can hopefully respond to you also! But I WILL say that it is the same number that is the square root of 3600! lol.

Let x be that number.
If one-fifth of the number is two more than one-sixth of the number, that means that
x/5= (x/6) + 2
That leads to 6x= 5x + 60, which means that x= 60.
To test if the response is correct: one-fifth of 60 is 12, and one-sixth of 60 is 10. As 12 is two more than 10, that shows the result is correct: the number is 60.
