Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\mathtt\red{SOLUTION :-}}$

Given :-

• Number increased by 8⅓ % becomes 585

Assumption :-

• Let the number be x

Solving :-

⟹ Percentage (increased) = 8⅓ % ⇢ 25/3 %

According to the problem :-

✒ (25/3) % of x + x = 585

✒ (25/3×100)x + x = 585

✒ (1/12)x + x = 585

✒ x/12 + x = 585

✒ 13x/12 = 585

✒ 13x = 585×12

✒ x = 7020/13

$\large\boxed{\mathtt\green{∴x = 540}}$

Answer :-

The number is 540
