Question

find the number which when increased by 12.4% become 2248​

Answer 1

Answer:

2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be that number.

12.4% of a  =  0.124 × a

so a increased by 12.4% is

a + 0.124 × a

= (1 + 0.124) × a

= 1.124 × a

We are told that this is 2248, so...

1.124 × a = 2248

=> a = 2248 / 1.124 = 2000
