Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have been asked to find a number which when increased by 25% gives a total of 625. Now here we assume the number to be m and according to the above-given conditions we have,

m + 25% of m = 625

⇒ m + $\frac{25}{100} m$ = 625

⇒ m + $\frac{1}{4} m$ = 625

⇒ $\frac{4m+1m}{4}$ = 625

⇒ $\frac{5m}{4} = 625$

⇒ 5m = 625 × 4

⇒ 5m = 2500

⇒ m = 2500 ÷ 5

⇒ m = 500

Therefore the number is found to be 500
