Answer:
200
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the number x.
12% of that number is 0.12x, so increasing x by that amount takes us to
x + 0.12x = ( 1 + 0.12 ) x = 1.12x.
( General principle: increasing by 12% means multiplying by 1.12, and increasing by 35% means multiplying by 1.35, and so on.)
We're told the result is 224, so
1.12x = 224
=> x = 224 / 1.12 = 200.
