Question

If 85% of a number is added to 75, then the result is the number itself. The number is ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Now, according to the Question,

85% of x + 75 = x

Now,

85% of x = (85/100)x

= 0.85x

Then,

0.85x + 75 = x

x - 0.85x = 75

0.15x = 75

x = 75/0.15

x = 7500/15

x = 500

Hence,

The number is 500.
