A number decreased by 8% gives 69. The number is
(a) 80 (b) 75 (c) 85 (d) None of these
Solution:-
(b) 75
Because,
Let the required number be x
Now,
= x - 8% of x = 69
= [x - {(8/100) × x}] = 69
= [x - {8x/100}] = 69
= [x - {2x/25}] = 69
= [(25x - 2x)/25] = 69
= [23x/25] = 69
= x = (69 × 25)/23
= x = (75)
