Question:

If $6\frac{2}{3}$% of $(P+2)=43$ and $(P-3)$ % of $40=x$, then find $x$.

Options:

250

256

460

640

Correct Answer:

256

Explanation:

$6\frac{2}{3}$% of $(P+2)=43$

\(\frac{20}{3× 100 }\) × ( P + 2 ) = 43

P + 2 = 645

P = 643

Now,

$(P-3)$ % of $40=x$

( 643 - 3 ) × \(\frac{40}{100 }\) = x

640 × \(\frac{2}{5 }\) = x 

x = 256

The correct answer is option (2) : 256
