Question

if 20 percent of a number exceeds 16 percent of the same number by 16 what is the number

Answer 1

Let the number be X

According to Question,

(20/100) X = (16/ 100) X + 16

X/ 5 = 4X/ 25 + 16

X/ 5 = (4X + 400)/ 25

Cross Multiplying,

25X = 20X + 2000

5X = 2000

X = 400

Therefore, the number is 400.
