Question

Raj is multiplying two numbers. By mistake, he read one of the numbers as 52 instead of 25 and as a result his answer increased by 486. What was the other number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the no. be x

52*x = 25*x + 486

52x = 25x + 486

27x = 486

x = 18

Answer 2

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

let the other no. be x

on multiplying the correct no. 25 with x, we get,

25*x=25x

on multiplying incorrect no. 52 with x, we get,

52x = 25x+486

52x-25x =486

27x =486

x =486/27

x =18
