A number if reduced by 25% becomes 225. By what percent should it be increased so that it becomes 375 ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
Let the number = x
According to the question,
$$\frac{x × (100 - 25)}{100}$$ = 225
x = $$\frac{225 × 100}{75}$$
x = 300
Required percentage :
= $$\frac{(375 - 300)}{300}$$ × 100
= 25%
According to the question,
$$\frac{x × (100 - 25)}{100}$$ = 225
x = $$\frac{225 × 100}{75}$$
x = 300
Required percentage :
= $$\frac{(375 - 300)}{300}$$ × 100
= 25%
