Suppose the number is x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then x is 42% less than c, thus x = 58% of c\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%2858%2F100%29%2Ac\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"c+=+%28100%2F58%29%2Ax+=+1.72%2Ax\"
\n" ); document.write( "Thus c = 72% more than x
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
