By the given question,
Let the given number be x.
The number is increased by 15 % .
So 15 % of the number is,
x × 15/100 = 15x/100
Now,
As number is increased by 15%,
x + 15x/100 = 207
100 + 15x /100 = 207
115x = 20700
x = 20700/115
x = 180.
VERIFICATION
180× 15/100 = 27.
180 + 27 = 207.
Thus verified.

Answer:
Let the number be x ,
Then according to the question,
=> x/1 + 15x/100 = 207
=> 115x / 100 = 207
=> 115x = 207 × 100
=> 115x = 20700
=> x = 20700 / 115
=> x = 180
