Question

a number decreased by 8 percent gives 69 what is the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

77

Step-by-step explanation:

100x - 8 = 69. 100x = 69 + 8 = 77

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be 'x'.

8% of x = 0.08x

Given, 69 = x - 0.08x

⇒ 0.92x = 69

⇒ x=69/0.92 = 69 *100 /92 = 3 * 100/4 = 75

Therefore, 75 is the number.
