Question

Solve: A number when increased by 18% becomes 708; find the number.

Answer 1

Let the number be x.
Now, as per the question,
x +18%of x = 708
x+ 18x/100 = 708
118x =70800
x = 70800/118 = 600.
No. will be 600.

Answer 2

the equation for it will be
$x + (x \div 100 \times 18) = 708$
now let's go with the equation,
x + (18x/100)= 708
[(100x + 18x)/100] = 708
118x = 70800 (after multiplying 100 on both side)
x = 600 (after dividing by 118 on both side)

The number is 600.
