Question

Find a number which when decreased by 35% becomes 52

Answer 1

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be a

According to question

a - 35 % of a = 52

=> a - 35a/100 = 52

=> (100a - 35a) / 100 = 52

=> 65a/100 = 52

=> 13a/20 = 52

=> a = 52 × 20 / 13

=> a = 4 × 20

=> a = 80

Required number = 80

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be x

Then

x - 35% = 52

x - 35/100 = 52

(100x - 35x)/100 = 52

65x/100 = 52

65x = 5200

x = 5200/65

x= 80
