Question

Please answer the question

Answer 1

15/100*100- 25/100*x=2

3/20*40 = 1/4*x=2

6 - x/4= 2

24-x/4 =2

24-x=8

x=16

Answer 2

Let the number be x.

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

$\frac{15}{100} * 40 - \frac{25}{100} * x = 2$

$6 - \frac{1}{4} x = 2$

$- \frac{1}{4} x = 2 - 6$

$- \frac{1}{4} x = -4$

-x = -16

x = 16.


Therefore the number is 16.
