When 80% of a number is added to 80, the result is the same number. Find the number.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 400.

Let the number = x

⇒ 80% of x is 0.8x

So, 0.8x + 80 = x

⇒ 80 = x - 0.8x

⇒ 80 = 0.2x

⇒ x = 80 ÷ 0.2

⇒ x = 400
