Answer:
888
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be n then divide by 8 , that is [tex]\frac{n}{8}[/tex]
now add 8 to this
[tex]\frac{n}{8}[/tex] + 8 and finally multiply this by 8 and equate to 952
8([tex]\frac{n}{8}[/tex] + 8) = 952 ( divide both sides by 8 )
[tex]\frac{n}{8}[/tex] + 8 = 119 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
[tex]\frac{n}{8}[/tex] = 111 ( multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fraction )
n = 888
the number chosen was 888
