Question

A number when increased by 14%, becomes 855. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

New value =

855 + Percentage increase =

855 + (- 14% × 855) =

855 - 14% × 855 =

(1 - 14%) × 855 =

(100% - 14%) × 855 =

86% × 855 =

86 ÷ 100 × 855 =

86 × 855 ÷ 100 =

73,530 ÷ 100 =

735.3

Answer 2

Answer:

846.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

if x is increased by 14% = 855

=> x + ( x + 14 )/100 = 855

=> ( 100x + x + 14 )/100 = 855

=> 101x + 14 = 85500

=> 101x = 85500 - 14

=> 101x = 85486

=> x = 85486/101

=>x = 846.39

Therefore ,

Required number = x = 846.39
