Question

if a number is increased by 20% then the result is 24 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Now how to solve this…

Let us consider that number to be X.

According to question when X is increased by 20% of its value the final result is 24

So lets first calculate 20% of X.

Which is equal to 20% *X=( 20/100)*X

Or that can be written as 1/4th of X.

When X is increased by 20% of X we get,

X+ (20% of X)

Which is equal to X + (1/4)*X=(5/4)*X

Now from the question this increased quantity results is 24

hence ,(5/4)*x=24

or,x=(24*4)/5

sox=19.2
