check is: 93% of your answer should be 16.47
16.74*
k I did not multiply but how can u subtract only one term is having x term if u did like this also u will get the same answer
7/100 of what number are u subtracting?
did u get now?
100x - 7 = 16.74*100. then 100x=1674+7.100x=1681.then x = 16.81
its 100x - 7x = 16.74*100
once see my answer below : x-7%ofx
u r simply doing x-7%

Hi Sakshi,
Always remember such questions are just little tricky and thats it.
Now lets look at this question...
Observe the word decreased by 7% of itself means 7% of the number is to be subtracted from same number.
x - 7%of x
x- (7/100)x
x(100-7)/100
93x/100
Now this is equal to given value 16.74
93x/100=16.74
x=1674/93
x= 18 is the required number.
Hope it helped.
Let me know if any further doubt.
Cheers !!!
