Answer 1

Given: A statement: The number which exceeds 12% of it by 52.8

To find: The value ?

Solution:

• Let the number be x, then :

                x - 12% of x = 52.8

• Now solving this, we get:

                x - (12x/100) =  52.8

                100x - 12x = 52.8 x 100

                88x = 5280

                x = 5280/88

                x = 60

Answer:

                So the number is 60.
