Question

find a number which when decreased by 35% becomes 52

Answer 1

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

let the number is x
then, according to the question
______________________________
______________________________

x*(100-35)/100=52
x*65/100=52
x=5200/65
x=80
