Question

A number exceeds 12.5% of itself by 63. The number is:

Answer 1

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

So, 12.5% of x = 12.5x/100

∴Equation formed:

   x - 12.5x/100 = 63

⇒100x - 12.5x/ 100 = 63

⇒87.5x = 63 × 100

             = 6300

⇒x = 6300/87.5

      = 72

∴ The required number is 72
