Question

If 24 is added in a number then the number becomes 157.14% of itself .Find the original number

Answer 1

Hi,

Let's assume the number is X

Now,

24 is added in X

:• X + 24 = 157.14% of X

:• X + 24 = (157.14/100) × X

:• X + 24 = 157.14X / 100

:• 100(X + 24) = 157.14x

:• 100X + 2400 = 157.14x

:• 2400 = 157.14x - 100x

:• 2400 = 57.14x

:• X = 42

So your answer is 42. THANK YOU
