Answer 1

Answer:

888

Step-by-step explanation:

Sahil chooses a number, [We'll call it x]

divides it by 8 ,   [x/8]

adds 8 to the answer.  [(x/8) + 8]

Then multiples the answer with 8 .  [((x/8) + 8)*8]

He obtains the result as 952 .   [((x/8) + 8)*8 = 952]

The number he chooses in the beginning was

((x/8) + 8)*8 = 952

x + 64 = 952

x = 888

CHECK:

Does (888/8 + 8)*8 = 952?

(119)*8 = 952?   YES

The number is 888
