Question

A number has to multiply by 9/8 but in place of multiplication it is
divided by 9/8 , then the result is 17 less than the actual result. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. be x

as per question

x/(9/8) = x*9/8 - 17

8x/9 = 9x/8 - 17

9x/8 - 8x/9 = 17

(81x - 64x)/72 = 17

17x/72 = 17

x = 72 ans
