Question

If a number x is 10% less than the another number y and y is 10% more than 125,then xi is equal to?

Answer 1

Answer: 123.75

Step-by-step explanation: after that x is 10% less than the another number y, and y is 10% more than 125, we have to find first the y then the x.

So how we can find the y:  y is equals to 110% of 125 right? So we find the 10% of 125, which is 12.5 just a point before the last number and we add 125 on it, so it is 125 + 12.5 = 137.5, so we found y.

How to find the x: We can see that x is 10% less than another number y so when we check y, we found out that y is 137.5, and 10% of 137.5 is 13.75, we want to know 90% of 137.5 which is 137.5 - 13.75 = 123.75

So this is the answer: x is equal to the value of 123.75
