Question

Find a number which when increased by 120% becomes 77

Answer 1

Hey!!!!

let the number be x

Then

ATQ,

x + 120x/100 = 77

=> x + 6x/5 = 77

=> 5x + 6x = 385

=> 11x = 385

=> x = 35

Thus the number is 35

Answer 2

The answer is 35.

Means if you increase it by 100% it will become 70.

Not take 20% of 35, that is 7 and add it to 70, which is equal to 120% of 35 i.e. 77

Hope this helps
