To find the number that, when increased by 5%, equals 60000, you would set up the equation x + 0.05x = 60000, where x is the original number. Combining like terms, you get 1.05x = 60000. Divide both sides by 1.05 to solve for x, giving you x ≈ 57142.857. Therefore, the original number is approximately 57142.857.
