A.

113.2

B.

83.2

C.

53.2

D.

103.2

Correct option is B

Given:

25% of a number is added to 78, and the result is the same number.

Solution:
Let the number be x. The equation formed is:

78+25100×x=x 78+x4=x 78=xx4 78=3x4 x=78×43=10478 + \frac{25}{100} \times x = x \\ \ \\78 + \frac{x}{4} = x\\ \ \\78 = x - \frac{x}{4}\\ \ \\78 = \frac{3x}{4}\\ \ \\x = \frac{78 \times 4}{3} = 104

80% of x = 80100×104=0.8×104=83.2\frac{80}{100} \times 104 = 0.8 \times 104 = 83.2​​

80% of the number is 83.2.
