Answer 1

888

Explanation:

Sahil chooses a number, [We'll call it x]

divides it by 8 , [x/8]

adds 8 to the answer. [(x/8) + 8]

Then multiples the answer with 8 . [((x/8) + 8)*8]

He obtains the result as 952 . [((x/8) + 8)*8 = 952]

The number he chooses in the beginning was

((x/8) + 8)*8 = 952

x + 64 = 952

x = 888

CHECK:

Does (888/8 + 8)*8 = 952?

(119)*8 = 952? YES

The number is 888
