Given that
40 is subtracted from 60 % of number and the result obtained is 50
We need to find the number
Solution
Let the number from which 60% gets subtracted be =X
As per the given condition, the equation becomes
60% (X)-40 = 50
=( 60/100 ) x – 40 = 50
= 6/10X = 50+40
=6/10X = 90
=X = 10/6 x 90
=X = 900/6
=X = 150
If 40 is subtracted from 60 % of 150 and the result obtained will be 50
