the number which exceeds 16% of it by 42 is:

Answer 1

The required number is 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number be $x$.

Then according to the question,

$\quad x-16\%\:of\:x=42$

$\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{16x}{100}=42$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{100x-16x}{100}=42$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{84x}{100}=42$

$\Rightarrow x=42\times\dfrac{100}{84}$

$\Rightarrow x=50$

Thus the required number is $50$ which exceeds $16\%$ of it by $42$.
