The number is 1800. Eight percent of 1800 is 144; thus, 1800 + 144 = 1944.
To solve this, you can set up a proportion. If the original number is 100%, then 1944 would be 108% of the original (since it was increased by 8%).
1944-----108%
x-------100%
Solving the proportion gives you:
1944 * 100 = 108 * x
x = (1944 * 100) / 108
x = 194400 / 108
x = 1800
There are a variety of ways to solve percent problems, many of which can be very confusing. Fortunately, the proportion method will work for all three types of questions:
What number is 75% of 4?
3 is what percent of 4?
75% of what number is 3?
Using the proportion method, the setup is always the same:

A proportion shows one fraction with PART as the numerator and WHOLE as the denominator equal to another fraction with PERCENT as the numerator and 100 as the denominator.
