Increasing 50 by x% can be written as:
.................(1)
Decreasing 70 by x % can be represented by the expression:
...........(2)
Now we are given in the question that if we increase 50 by x% and 70 by x%, then the two values are equal.
so equating (1) and (2) , we get
bringing 0.01x to the left side:
taking 50 to the right side, subtracting it from 70
dividing both sides by 0.02
