• The number

${\green{\underline{\underline{\bold{Solution:-}}}}}$

Let the number be ' x '

15% of 40 is greater than 25% of a number by 2

According to the question:-

$(15\% \times 400) -( 25\% \times x) = 2 \\ \\ \implies \frac{15}{100} \times 400 \: \: - \: \: \frac{25}{100} x = 2 \\ \\ \implies15 \times 4 \: - \: \frac{1}{4} x = 2 \\ \\ \implies60 - \frac{1}{4} x = 2 \\ \\ \implies - \frac{ 1}{4} x = 2 - 60 \\ \\ \implies - \frac{ 1 }{4} x = - 58 \\ \\ \implies x = - 58 \times - 4\\ \\ \implies x =232$
