Let us say the unknown number is x.


(28)/(100) = (x)/(10) + (8)/(100)

In case of addition of fractions , we have to find least common denominator.

Least common denominator of 10 and 100 is 100.

Taking lcd,


(28)/(100) = (10x+8)/(100)

Cancelling 100 on both sides,


28=10x+8

subtracting 8 from both sides,


28-8=10x+8-8

10x=20

x=2

Answer : x=2
