The number which exceeds 16% of it by 42 is
Read Solution (Total 15)
-
- The question says, 16%(x)+42 = x.. so, (16x/100)+42=x -> x=50. Therefore, the number is 50.

- x-(16x/100) = 42
x=50 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(0)
- let us consider number be n .the number which exceeds means we have to subtract it.let me come to solution n-(16/100)n=42
after solving above equation we can get this 50 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- x-(0.16*x)=42 => 0.84*x=42 => x=50 (ANS:50)

- friends,
i am not getting why exceed means minus??
please explain me.. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- @KUNDAN DHANDHE : exceeds doesn't means minus....this ques z saying 16% of a no. is exceeding by 42.
so, x=42+(16x/100);
keep x part together it'll;
x-(16x/100)=42
x=50;
clear?? - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- @Kundan dhande..
The question says that (16% of X)+42=X
so.. (16X/100)+42=X
42=X-(16X/100)
42=84X/100
X=(42*100)/84
X=50 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 116x/100 - x = 42
=> x = 262.5 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- let the number x
the number which exceeds means we have subtract to the number
x-(16x/100)=42
100x-16x=4200
84x=4200
x=50
the answer is 50

- 84% of X=42
100% of X=(42*100)/84
X=50 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- (16/100)*x + 42 = x
so x=50 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- @satyam and Kesani
Thanks Friends now it is clear for me...
Thanks

- 16% of x=x-42
(16/100)*x=x-42
x=4200/84
=50 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 50 is the answer
