Question 16

Anita had to do a multiplication. In stead of taking 35 as one of the multipliers, she took 53. As a result, the product went up by 540. What is the new product?

Solution

Let the number be X.
From the given information, 53x - 35x = 540 => 18x = 540 => x = 30

So, new product = 35*30 = 1050
