Correct Answer: $\frac{100x}{100+x}$%


Solution : Let the original number be = 100
It is increased by $x$%,
Now, the new number = $(100 + x)$
It is to be reduced from $(100 + x)$ to 100.
Thus, reduction = $(100 + x) - 100 = x$
So, the reduction percentage $=\frac{x}{100+x} × 100=\frac{100x}{100+x}$%
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{100x}{100+x}$%.
