Detailed Solution

Given that we had a number and when it is increased by 8% of itself, we get the value of 135. We need to find the value of the actual number.
Let us assume the number is ‘x’ and when this is increased by 8% of itself, we get the value of 135.
So, (100% + 8%) of the value of x = 135.
Then 108% of the value of x = 135…………..(1).
 We know that a% of y is defined as Question Image. We use this result in equation (1).
 Question ImageWe have found the value of ‘x’ before increasing to 125.
∴ The actual value of the given number is 125.
