Question

A number increased by 37 1/2% gives 33​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be X

The number is increased by = $37\frac{1}{2}$ %

                                              = $\frac{75}{2}$ %

Therefore,

$X+X\times \frac{75}{2\times 100}=33$

$\implies X(1+ \frac{75}{200})=33$

$\implies X\times \frac{275}{200}=33$

$\implies X=33\times \frac{200}{275}$

$\implies X=24$

Therefore, the number is 24.
