Answer 2

Answer :

We have,

• A number is decreased by 10% becomes $\dfrac{3}{8}$

Solution :

Let the number be x

According to question ,

• The number is decreased by 10%

Then,

• 90% of x = $\dfrac{3}{8}$

= $\dfrac{90}{100}$ × x = $\dfrac{3}{8}$

= x = $\dfrac{3}{8}$ × $\dfrac{100}{90}$

= x = $\cancel{\dfrac{30}{9}}$

= x = $\dfrac{10}{3}$
