Respuesta :

Cricetus

Answer:

The right answer is "[tex]x\simeq 254[/tex]".

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of earlier case will be "x".

Now,

⇒ [tex]x+x\times \frac{26.3}{100}=321[/tex]

or,

⇒ [tex]x+x\times 0.263=321[/tex]

By taking "x" common, we get

⇒   [tex]x(1+0.263)=321[/tex]

⇒                    [tex]x=\frac{321}{1.263}[/tex]

⇒                       [tex]=254.15[/tex]

or,

⇒                    [tex]x\simeq 254[/tex]
