Verified answer

Answer:

Let's denote the original value as \( x \). When increased by 2.5%, the new value is given by:

\[ x + 0.025x \]

According to the given information, this expression is equal to 246:

\[ x + 0.025x = 246 \]

Now, combine like terms:

\[ 1.025x = 246 \]

To find the original value \( x \), divide both sides by 1.025:

\[ x = \frac{246}{1.025} \]

Calculate this expression to find the original value, which is the quantity you're looking for.
