Answer:

About 18.1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by setting up an equation. Assuming that the original number is x:

x*(1-0.17)=15

0.83x=15

x=15/0.83 which is about 18.1 Hope this helps!

When a number is decreased by 16% of itself the result is 159.6. What is the number?
Rufina [12.5K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call this number n. Here is the info we can write about it. Remember that to write as a percent as a decimal you divide by 100.

n-0.16n=159.6

We combine like terms.

0.84n=159.6

We divide both sides by 0.84

n=190

Have a wonderful day! :D
