Question

Find the number which when increased by 15 percent becomes 828

Answer 1

Answer:

number= 720

Step-by-step explanation:

115%of X = 828

(115/100) * X = 828

X = (828*100) / 115

X= 82800/115

X = 720

verification

115%of 720 = (115/100)*720

= (115*720)/100

= 82800/100

= 828

Answer 2

Answer:

720

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

By condition,

x+(15% of x)=828$\frac{16650}{23}$

x+($\frac{15}{100} of x$) =828

Simplify $\frac{15}{100}$ it comes $\frac{3}{20}$ (cut by 5)

x+($\frac{3}{20}$ × x) =828

x+$\frac{3x}{20}$ =828

$\frac{23x}{20}$ =828

x=$\frac{16560}{23}$

x=720 [divide by 23] Ans.
