Question

Answer it...!

When 125 is subtracted from a number,it reduces to its 37.5 %.
What is 25% of this number? ​

Answer 1

Let the number be 100x

100x-125=37.5x

62.5x=125

x=2

Number = 200

25% of 200 = 50

Answer 2

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to given condition,

⇒ x - 125 = 37.5% of x

⇒ x - 125 = (75/2)% of x

⇒ x - 125 = (75/2) * (1/100) * x

⇒ x - 125 = (75/200) * x

⇒ x - 125 = (3/8) * x

⇒ x - 125 = (3x/8)

⇒ 8(x - 125) = 3x

⇒ 8x - 1000 = 3x

⇒ 5x = 1000

⇒ x = 200

Now,

25% of the number :

= 25% of 200

= (25/100) * 200

= 50

Hope it helps!
