Tick (✓) the correct answer

Question: Tick (✓) the correct answer A number decreased by $27 \frac{1}{2} \%$ gives 87 . The number is (a) 58 (b) 110 (c) 120 (d) 135 Solution: (c) 120 Let the required number be $\mathrm{x}$. Then, we have: $x-\left(27 \frac{1}{2} \%\right.$ of $\left.x\right)=87$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}-\left(\frac{55}{2} \%\right.$ of $\left.\mathrm{x}\right)=87$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}-\left(\mathrm{x} \times \frac{55}{2} \times \frac{1}{100}\right)=87$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}-\frac{11 \mathrm{x}}{40}=87$ ...

Tick (✓) the correct answer:

Question: Tick (✓) the correct answer: A number exceeds 20% of itself by 40. The number is (a) 50 (b) 60 (c) 80 (d) 320 Solution: (a) 50 Let $x$ be the required number. Then, we have: $20 \%$ of $x+40=x$ $\Rightarrow\left(x \times \frac{20}{100}\right)+40=x$ $\Rightarrow \frac{20 x}{100}+40=x$ $\Rightarrow\left(\frac{20 x}{100}-x\right)=-40$ $\Rightarrow \frac{-80 x}{100}=-40$ $\Rightarrow x=\left(40 \times \frac{100}{80}\right)$ $\Rightarrow x=50$...
