Question

If 18 % of a number exceed its 14 % by 45, then the number is
1. 1225
2. 1275
3. 1125
4. 900

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 1125

Calculations :

Let the number be 'x' 

According to the question

18 % of x - 14 % of x = 45 

4 % of x = 45 

\( {4 \over 100}\) of x = 45 

4x = 45 × 100 

4x = 4500 

x = 4500/4 

x = 1125 

∴ The number is 1125
