Question

6. Mani was asked to find 6/7 of a number but instead he multiplied it by 7/6 - As a result he got
an answer which was more than the correct answer by 299. What was the number?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be x

therefore, 6x/7 +299 = 7x/6

299= 7x/6 - 6x/7

299= 13x/42

x = (299*42)/13

therefore x = 966

The number is 966.
