Answer 2

Answer:

The number when increased by 20% is 48 =  40

Step-by-step explanation:

To find,

The number such that the number, when increased by 20%, is 48

Solution:

Let 'x' be the number

20% of the number 'x'  = $\frac{20}{100} x$

The number 'x' when increased by 20% =  x +  $\frac{20}{100} x$

Since  the number, when increased by 20%, is 48 we have

x +  $\frac{20}{100} x$ = 48

x(1+$\frac{20}{100}$) = 48

x ×$\frac{120}{100}$ = 48

x = $\frac{48 X 100}{120}$

x = 40

∴The number when increased by 20% is 48 =  40
