Question

When a number is increased by 18 then, it becomes 154% of itself. What is the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X + 18 = 154/100 × X

100X + 1800 = 154X

54X=1800

X = 1800/54

X=100/3

Answer 2

let the number be x

according to the question,

x+18 = (154/100)*x

⇒ 100(x+18) = 154x

⇒ 100x + 1800 =154x

⇒ 154x - 100x = 1800

⇒ 54x = 1800

⇒ x = 1800/54

∴ x = 100/3
