Question

408 is ____ % more than 340

Answer 1

it is 20 % more than 340

Answer 2

Solution :-

Let 408 is x % more than 340

Then, according to the question.

340 + (340*x)/100 = 408

340 + 17x/5 = 408

Taking L.C.M. of the denominators and then solving it.

(1700 + 17x)/5 = 408

1700 + 17x = 408*5

1700 + 17x = 2040

17x = 2040 - 1700

17x = 340

x = 340/17

x = 20 %

So, 408 is 20 % more than 340
