If 300 is subtracted from a number then result becomes 62\(\frac{1}{2}\)% of the number. Find the original number. |
800 620 1000 710 |
800 |
12\(\frac{1}{2}\)% = \(\frac{1}{8}\) 62\(\frac{1}{2}\)% = 12\(\frac{1}{2}\)% × 5 = \(\frac{5}{8}\) It means, if 8 (original) - 3 (subtraced) = 5 (62\(\frac{1}{2}\)% of original) ⇓ 300 (given= × 100) Therefore, Original no. is = 8 × 100 = 800 |
