Question

by what number must a given number be divided to increase it by 35%

Answer 1

Answer:

27/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be m

Increase in its value = 35 % of m

= 35/100 × m

= 7m/20

Therefore, increase value = m + 7m/20

= (20m + 7m)/20

= 27m/20

Therefore, the given number must be multiplied by 27/20 to increase the number by 35 %
