If 33.33% of a number is added to 16, then the result is the number itself. Find the number.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 24.

Given that

33.33% of a number is added to 16

33.33% = 13\frac{1}{3}

Let the number be x

According to the question

13\frac{1}{3}x + 16 = x

Solving for x we get

2x = 48

⇒ x = 24
