Question

In a examination a student was asked to find 14% of a certain number but he wrongly found 4% of that number so his answer was 15 less than the correct answer the number was

Answer 1

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number be x.

He needs to find = 14/100 * x.

He wrong found = 4/100 * x which is 15 less than correct answer

=> 4/100 * x + 15 should be equal to 14/100*x

4/100*x + 15 = 14/100 * x

10x/100 = 15

=> x/10 = 15

=> x = 150.
