Answer 1

Let's assume the number he chose to be x.

Explanation:

The steps followed are

x/8

(x/8) + 8

[(x/8) + 8] 8

[(x/8) + 8] 8 = 952

To find x, solve the equation,

[(x/8) + 8] = 952/8

[(x/8) + 8] = 119

(x/8) = 119 - 8

x/8 = 111

x = 111 x 8

x = 888

Hence, the number he chose was 888.
