Question

Find the number when increased by 27% becomes 508

Answer 1

Greetings..!

Let the no be x .

Increase = 27% = 27% of x = 27x/100

Increased no = x + 27x/10 = 127x/1000

According to question , 127x/100 = 508

⇒127x = 508*100

⇒x = 50800/127 = 400

hence, the required no is 400 (answer)

Answer 2

Hi there!☺

Let the number be x.

Then,
27%x +x=508
27x/100+x=508
27x+100x=50800
127x=50800
x=400.
✨I hope this helps.✨
