Answer 1

260 iz Your Answer.

Explain.

Let the required number be x

x + 15% of x = 299

→ x + 15/100 x = 299

→ 100x + 15x / 100 = 299

→ 115x =29900

→ x = 29900/115 = 5980/23 = 260

Answer 2

Answer:

(i) Consider the original number as x

Here

New number = (1+15/100) of original number

Substituting the values

299=(1+3/20)×x

Taking LCM

299=[(20+3)/20]×x

By further calculation

299=23/20×x

So we get

x=(299×20)/23

x=13×20

x=260

Therefore, the original number is 260
