Question

A number when increased by 18% gives 236. Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be x

when increased by 18%, it becomes 1.18x.

so 1.18x=236

we get x=236/1.18

x=200.

so the number is 200

Answer 2

Answer:

200 when increased by 18% gives 236

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say Number = X

Number increased by 18 %

=> (18/100)X = 0.18X

A number when increased by 18% gives 236

=> X  + 0.18X  = 236

=> 1.18X = 236

Dividing both sides by 1.18

=> X = 200

Hence 200 when increased by 18% gives 236
