Question

when 12 is added to a number,it becomes nine-eight of the original number . what is 12.5 present of the original number?

Answer 1

let the number be x,

x +12 =9x/8 

8(x+12) = 9x

8x + 96 = 9x 

96= 9x - 8x 

96  = x

Now,

96 is the number....


12.5 of 96 

$96$× $\frac{125}{10}$


= 1200




i hope this will help you
