When 32 percent of a number is added to 476, then the result is that number only. What is the value of the number?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 700.

Calculations:

Let the number be x

⇒ 32% of x + 476 = x

⇒ 32x/100 + 476 = x

⇒ x - 0.32 = 476

⇒ 0.68x = 476

⇒ x = 476/0.68

⇒ x = 700
