    1/4 = (5n) / (n + 95)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If all the numbers referred to are the same number, we can use n to represent it. Then, "the ratio of a number and 4 times that number" is n / (4n) = 1/4. "The ratio of 5 times the number and 95 more than the number" is (5n) / (n+95)

    The equation for the problem can be written ...

    1/4 = (5n) / (95+n)

    ___

    If you're a purist, you might leave the factors of "a number" in the first raio and write it ...

    n / (4n) = (5n) / (95+n)

    Solving this gets you to a quadratic form that has the extraneous solution n=0.
