Answer 2

Given : 62.5% of a number is subtracted from itself then result becomes 6321

To find : The original number.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to determine the original number)

Let, the original number = x

62.5% of the original number :

= x × 62.5%

= x × (62.5/100)

= 62.5x/100

According to the data mentioned in the question,

x - (62.5x/100) = 6321

(100x - 62.5x) = 6321 × 100

37.5x = 632100

x = 632100/37.5

x = 16856

The original number = x = 16856

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the original number is 16856
