Question

After deducting 12% from a certain sum and then deducting 25% from the remainder, 2508 is left, then what is the initial sum?​

Answer 1

Answer:

11400

Step-by-step explanation:

let the initial number be x.

∴after deducting 12% from it,

the new number formed will be x-12x/100

=88x/100.

25%is deducted further ,

∴new number is (88x/100)-25(88x/100)/100.

=11/50x.

which is equal to 2508.

∴11/50x=2508

x=$2508*\frac{50}{11}$

x=228×50

x=11400
