let original your number is AB   then 2×3AB = 27×AB  ⇒2(300+10A+B)=27(10A+B)  ⇒600+20A+2B=270A+27B  ⇒600=250A+25B   ⇒24 = 10A+B . Thus your number is 24
$${let}\:{original}\:{your}\:{number}\:{is}\:{AB}\: \\ $$$${then}\:\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{3}{AB}\:=\:\mathrm{27}×{AB} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{300}+\mathrm{10}{A}+{B}\right)=\mathrm{27}\left(\mathrm{10}{A}+{B}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{600}+\mathrm{20}{A}+\mathrm{2}{B}=\mathrm{270}{A}+\mathrm{27}{B} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{600}=\mathrm{250}{A}+\mathrm{25}{B}\: \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{24}\:=\:\mathrm{10}{A}+{B}\:.\:{Thus}\:{your}\:{number}\:{is}\:\mathrm{24} \\ $$

2×(300+x)=27x  600=25x  x=24
$$\mathrm{2}×\left(\mathrm{300}+{x}\right)=\mathrm{27}{x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{600}=\mathrm{25}{x} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{24} \\ $$
