When a number is increased by 21, it becomes 114% of itself. What is the number?
Let the number be $$100x$$
According to ques, => $$100x + 21 = \frac{114}{100} \times 100x$$
=> $$100x + 21 = 114x$$
=> $$114x - 100x = 21$$
=> $$x = \frac{21}{14} = 1.5$$
$$\therefore$$ Number = $$100 \times 1.5 = 150$$
