Answer 1

888

Explanation:

let the number be n then divide by 8 , that is
`(n)/(8)`

now add 8 to this

`(n)/(8)` + 8 and finally multiply this by 8 and equate to 952

8(
`(n)/(8)` + 8) = 952 ( divide both sides by 8 )

`(n)/(8)` + 8 = 119 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

`(n)/(8)` = 111 ( multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fraction )

n = 888

the number chosen was 888
