Question

what number when increased by 10% becomes 88?

Answer 1

$<i><u>$Let the number be x


A/q,

x + 10% of x = 88

x + $\frac{10}{100}$ × x = 88

x + $\frac{1}{10}$x = 88

$\frac{11}{10}$x = 88

x = 88 × $\frac{10}{11}$

x = 80



$\therefore{}$ The number is 80

Answer 2

iiHEYA MATE,

Here is your answer

10% of x = 88 -x

=> $x\times\frac{10}{100}$ = 88-x

=> x + $\frac{x}{10}$ = 88

=> $\frac{11x}{10}$ = 88

=> x = $88\times \frac{10}{11}$

=> 8*10

=> 80

Hence, the number which when increased by its 10% becomes 88 is 80.
