Question

what number when increased by 15% becomes 299
​

Answer 1

AnswEr:-

Your Answer Is 260.

ExplanaTion:-

Given:-

• A number is when increased by 15% becomes 299.

To Find:-

• The Number.

So,

Let the number be x.

Therefore 15% of x $\tt = \dfrac{15\times x}{100}$.

Also, ATQ:-

$\\ \\ \tt\mapsto x + \dfrac{15 \times x}{100} = 299. \\ \\ \tt\mapsto x + \dfrac{15x}{100} = 299. \\ \\ \tt\mapsto \dfrac{100x + 15x}{100} = 299. \\ \\ \tt\mapsto \dfrac{115x}{100} = 299. \\ \\ \tt\mapsto115x = 299 \times 100. \\ \\ \tt\mapsto115x = 29900. \\ \\ \tt\mapsto x = \cancel\dfrac{29900}{115} . \\ \\ \tt\mapsto x = 260.$

$\tt\therefore$ The required number is x = 260.

Answer 2

Answer:

115x=299×100.

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x=

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x= 115

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x= 11529900

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x= 11529900

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x= 11529900

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x= 11529900

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x= 11529900 .

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x= 11529900 .↦x=260.

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x= 11529900 .↦x=260.

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x= 11529900 .↦x=260.

115x=299×100.↦115x=29900.↦x= 11529900 .↦x=260. \tt\therefore∴ The required no is
