Question : The difference between the value of the number increased by 20% and the value of the number decreased by 25% is 36. Find the number.
Option 1: 7.2
Option 2: 0.8
Option 3: 720
Option 4: 80
Correct Answer: 80
Solution : Let the number be $100x$. According to the question, The difference between the number increased and the number decreased is 36. ⇒ $120x - 75x = 36$ ⇒ $45x = 36$ $\therefore x = \frac{4}{5}$ So, the number $=100x=\frac{4}{5} × 100 = 80$ Hence, the correct answer is 80.
