Question

if 15% of 40 is greater than 25% of a number by 2 then what is the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be X. Then According to Question \frac{15}{100} × 40 - \frac{25 }{100} × X = 2 \frac{3}{20} × 40 - \frac{1}{4} × X = 2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Find :- 15% of 40

= 15% × 40

= 15/100 × 40

= 6

Find :- 25% of x

= 25% × x

= 25/100 × x

= 0.25x

Solve x

=> 6 - 0.25x = 2

=> 0.25x = 6 - 2

=> 0.25x = 4

=> x = 0.25 ÷ 4

=> x = 16 (ans)
