Question

Find a number which when increased by 2.5% becomes 246.

Answer 1

Let a number be x
x+ 25x/100 = 246
125x/100=246
x=246 × 100/125
=196.8

Answer 2

Answer:720

Step-by-step explanation:take the number and then have fun by dividing 125x/100

First take the no as x

Then, 2.5% of x = 246

(x + 2.5/100) divide it!!

Your answer should be 5x/20 =20+5x/20

25x/20= 246

20/25 * 246/100

Then divide 25 and 246 into decimals

= 81.84

Then ÷ 81.84/10 and 5

And answer should be

4092 and then subtract the original 246 two times or

246+

246

=492 and subtract it from 4092 and answer is 3600÷5=720
