Question

If a number ‘x’ is 10% less than another number ‘y’ and ‘y’ is 10% more than 125, then ‘x’ is equal
to:
(A) 150 (B) 143
(C) 140.55 (D) 123.75

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y is 10% more than 125

hence y= 125+ 10 % of 125

= 125+(10/100).125

=125+12.5

y=137.5

x is 10 % less than y

x= 137.5-10 % of 137.5

=137.5-13.75

=123.75

x =123.75
