Question 81

When a number is increased by 34, it becomes 117% of itself. What is the number?

Solution

Let the number be $$100x$$

According to ques, => $$100x + 34 = \frac{117}{100} \times 100x$$

=> $$100x + 34 = 117x$$

=> $$117x - 100x = 34$$

=> $$x = \frac{34}{17} = 2$$

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