Answer:

The wise man is 64 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

"400 reduced by 3 times my age is 208"

we don't know the man's age, so we can substitute it for x. This means 400-3x=208. Using this equation, we can now solve for x to find the man's age.

400-3x=208

400-208=3x

192=3x

64=x

Checking answer:

400-3•64=

400-192=208

The number 2400 is first increased by 30%.The value obtained is next decreased by 20%.Find the final number

kvasek [131]

<em>2400 is increased by 30%.</em>

so,

2400 + (30/100 * 2400)

2400 + (30 * 24)

2400 + 720

3120

<em>this number is decreased by 20%.</em>

so,

3120 - (20/100 * 3120)

3120 - (2 * 312)

3120 - 624

2496

therefore, the final number will be 2496.
