The number which exceeds 16% of it by 42 is

• 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

• 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

• x-(0.16*x)=42 => 0.84*x=42 => x=50 (ANS:50)

• @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??

• @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

• 116x/100 - x = 42
  => x = 262.5

• 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

• (16/100)*x + 42 = x
  so x=50

  Thanks Friends now it is clear for me...
  Thanks

• 16% of x=x-42
  (16/100)*x=x-42
  x=4200/84
  =50
