If 70% of a number is 56, what is the value of the number after increasing it by 25% ?

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the number be x . 70% of x = 56 ⟹ \frac{70}{100} \cdot x = 56 x = \frac{56 \times 100}{70} = 8 \times 10 = 80 Now, we need to increase the number by 25% : New Value = 80 \times (1 + \frac{25}{100}) = 80 \times 1.25 = 100
