Question
What number: When decreased by 15% becomes 170?

Let the number be $=100$
$ \text { Increase }=15 \%=15 $
$\therefore$ Decreased number $=100-15=85$
If decreased number is 85 , then original number $=100$
and if decreased number is 170 , then original number
$=\frac{100}{85} \times 170=200$
