this is not diffcult just for fun

anonymous · Answer

Let the value last year be x. 
x + 3/100 * x = 127.04
Solve for x.

parthkohli · Answer

$$\LARGE x + {3x \over 100} = 127.04$$

parthkohli · Answer

$$\LARGE {103x \over 100} = 127.04$$
$$\LARGE 103x = 12704$$
Can you solve it now?

anonymous · Answer

Taking LCM we have, 
103x/100 = 127.04
Transposing 103/100 to RHS,
x = 127.04 * 100/103
= 123.3

They shouldn't actually. The one who deserves the medals wouldn't get them.

That's because I explained, you too, but like in general I'm saying that in the quiz section, we'd have to do it ourself.
