If a number x is 10% less then another number y and y is 10% more than 125, then the value of $\left(x-\frac{3}{4}\right)$ is |
123.75 132.75 132 123 |
123 |
The correct answer is Option 4: 123 $y = 125 + (10\% \text{ of } 125)$ $y = 125 + 12.5$ $y = 137.5$
$x = y - (10\% \text{ of } y)$ $x = 137.5 - (10\% \text{ of } 137.5)$ $x = 137.5 - 13.75$ $x = 123.75$ Substitute the value of $x$ into the expression $(x - \frac{3}{4})$. Value $= 123.75 - 0.75$ Value $= 123$ |
