Answer:

The number is x = 507.05

Explanation:

Step(i):-

Let 'x ' be the number

Given that adding 45% to a number and we get 507.5

Now, it can be written as

x + 45% = 507.5

Step(ii):-

The equation

x + 0.45 = 507.5

subtracting '0.45' on both sides, we get

x = 507.5 - 0.45

x = 507.05

Final answer:-

The number is x = 507.05
