Anita had to do a multiplication. Instead of taking 35 as one of the multipliers, she took 53. As a result, the product went up by 540. What is the new product?

• let the old product is x
  so, (x/35)*53=x+540
  this gives x=1050, this is the old product
  The new product is 1050+540=1590

• 53x-35x=540
  18x=540
  x=30
  the new prodct=53*30=1590

• x*35=y---1
  x*53=(y+541)---2
  solving both we get x=30 y=1050
  new product=1051+540=1590

• 35*x = y........eq1
  53*x= y+540.....eq2
  
  now put eqn1 in eqn23X = 35X+540
  x=30
  now 53*30=1590
