Question

What number when increased by 14% become 855?

Answer 1

Answer:

750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

x+14% of x = 855

x+14x/100=855

114x/100=855

x=750

Answer 2

Solution :

Let the number = x

if x is increased by 14% = 855

=> x + ( x + 14 )/100 = 855

=> ( 100x + x + 14 )/100 = 855

=> 101x + 14 = 85500

=> 101x = 85500 - 14

=> 101x = 85486

=> x = 85486/101

=>x = 846.39

Therefore ,

Required number = x = 846.39
