Question

3. If 15% of 40 is greater than 25% of a number by 2, then the number is d) 32?​

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the number is x

Hence,

15/100 x 40 — 25/100 x x = 2

=600/100 — 25x/100 = 2

=-25x/100=2-6=-4

= x = 400/25

=16

Therefore, the number is 16.

Alternative

Let x be the number.

Given

15% of 40 = (15/100) x 40 = 6
A.T.Q
(25x / 100) + 2 = 6

x / 4 + 2 = 6

x = 16
