To solve this you can set up a proportion. If the original number is 100%, 62would be 108% of the original. (Since it was increased by 8%).

62-----108%

x-------100%

solving the proportion gives you

62 × 100= 108 × x

x= (62× 100)/108

x= 57.40

Answer:

1550/27

Step-by-step explanation:

let number be x

then, x + x×(8/100) = 62 ___(given)

 \frac{100x}{100}  +  \frac{8x}{1 00 }  =  \frac{108x}{100}  = 62 \\  \frac{54x}{50}  = 62 \\  \frac{27x}{25}  = 62 \\ x =  \frac{62 \times 25}{27}  =  \frac{1550}{27}
