When 40% of a number is added to the number, the result is 182. What is the number?

2

step-by-step explanation:

i recommend you do what your heart desires. if you're attracted to the same gender, then you're attracted to the same gender. you can't determine what your heart wants.

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
