Question

The number 5600 is first decreased by 15 % . The value obtained is next increased by 10 % . Find the final number.

Answer 1

5236

Explanation:

the original number is equal to 100%

Therefore 5600=100% how about 85 %(which is what is left after decreasing 15%)

85×5600÷100=4760

the new original is(100%)=4760

4760=100% how about 110%(which is what you'll have after adding 10%)

4760×110÷100=5236
