The correct Answer is:
To find the number which, when increased by 10%, becomes 66, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Let the number be \( x \)**: - We start by defining the unknown number as \( x \). 2. **Set up the equation**: - According to the problem, when \( x \) is increased by 10%, it becomes 66. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ x + 10\% \text{ of } x = 66 \] 3. **Convert 10% to a fraction**: - 10% can be written as \( \frac{10}{100} \) or \( \frac{1}{10} \). Therefore, \( 10\% \text{ of } x \) is: \[ \frac{10}{100} \times x = \frac{x}{10} \] 4. **Rewrite the equation**: - Substitute \( 10\% \text{ of } x \) back into the equation: \[ x + \frac{x}{10} = 66 \] 5. **Combine the terms**: - To combine \( x \) and \( \frac{x}{10} \), we need a common denominator. The common denominator is 10: \[ \frac{10x}{10} + \frac{x}{10} = 66 \] - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{10x + x}{10} = 66 \] - Which further simplifies to: \[ \frac{11x}{10} = 66 \] 6. **Solve for \( x \)**: - To isolate \( x \), multiply both sides by 10: \[ 11x = 66 \times 10 \] - This gives: \[ 11x = 660 \] - Now, divide both sides by 11: \[ x = \frac{660}{11} \] - Calculating this gives: \[ x = 60 \] 7. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the number is \( 60 \).
