If I increase a number by 40% I get 84. What is the original number?

ANSWER⇣⇣

let the number be x.

$\pink{ACC. \: \: TO \: \: QUESTION--}$

x + 40% = 84

$x + \frac{40}{100} = 84$

$x = 84 - \frac{40}{100}$

$x = 84 - \frac{2}{5}$

$x = \frac{84 \times 5 - 2}{5}$

$x = \frac{418}{5}$

$:\longrightarrow \texttt \purple{x = 83.6}$
