Question 33

When a number is increased by 38, it becomes 119% of itself. What is the number?

Solution

Let the number be $$100x$$

According to ques, => $$100x + 38 = \frac{119}{100} \times 100x$$

=> $$100x + 38 = 119x$$

=> $$119x - 100x = 38$$

=> $$x = \frac{38}{19} = 2$$

$$\therefore$$ Number = $$100 \times 2 = 200$$
