Answer 1

153-8X=X-153

X=34

34*25/100=8.5

Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

25% of the original number is 8.5.

● Explanation -

Let x be the original number. According to given condition,

153 - x = 8x - 153

8x + x = 153 + 153

9x = 306

x = 306/9

x = 34

So now, 25% of the original number is 34 × 25/100 = 8.5.

So our answer is 8.5 .

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
