Frame an equation: - A number when increased by 21 becomes 45.
x−21=45
21x=45
x21=45
x+21=45
Let the number be x. When it is increased by 21, it equals 45
⇒ x+21=45 is the required equation.
(i) A number when increased by 23% becomes 861; find the number. (ii) A number when decreased by 16% becomes 798; find the number.
