Question

A number when increased by 5% becomes 1491 . Find the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

atq,

x+(x * 5/100) = 1491

=>x+(x*1/20) = 1491

=> x+x/20 = 1491

=>(20x+x)/20 = 1491

=>21x/20 = 1491

=>21x= 1491*20

=>x=1491*20*1/21

=>x=71*20

hence number = x = 1420
