Question

The number a is 10% greater than b The number b is 20% less than c If a is 176 then what is the value of C?

Answer 1

Answer:

C=200

Step-by-step explanation:

let number is 100%

The number a is 10% greater than b

A=110%of B

A/B=110%/100%

A/B=11/10

let A/B=11x/10x

If a is 176 then what is the value of C?

11x=176

x=16

B=10*16

 =160

The number b is 20% less than c

B=80%of C

B/C=4/5

Let B/C=4x/5x

4x=160

x=40

C=5x

=5*40

=200
