Increasing \( x \) by 25% gives \( x + 0.25x = 1.25x \).
Given \( 1.25x = 125 \).
Solving for \( x \): \( x = \frac{125}{1.25} = 100 \).
If the sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers equals 55, what is \( n \)?
The sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers is \( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \).
Setting this equal to 55: \( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} = 55 \).
Multiplying by 2: \( n(n+1) = 110 \).
Solving \( n^2 + n - 110 = 0 \) using the quadratic formula, \( n = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 440}}{2} = \frac{-1 \pm 21}{2} \).
Positive solution: \( n = 10 \).
