Answer 1

Question:

If 1/4 of any number is 17 ,then what is the 45% of that number?

Answer:

30.6

Solution:

Given:

1/4 of any number is 17 .

To find:

45% of the number.

Now,

Let the number be "x" .

Also,

It is said that,

1/4 of the number is 17.

Thus,

=> 1/4 of x = 17

=> (1/4)•x = 17

=> x/4 = 17

=> x = 17•4

=> x = 68

Now,

45% of the number = 45% of x

= (45%)•x

= (45/100)•68

= 30.6

Hence,

45% of the number is 30.6

Answer 2

Answer

Let M be the number.

TheN

1/4 = 17

hencE

$\bf = \frac{1}{4} = M = 17 \\ \bf = ( \frac{1}{4} ) \times M = 17 \\ \bf = \frac{m}{4} = 17 \\ \bf = M = 17 \times 4 \\ \sf = M = 68$

TheN

45% = M

$\bf = (45 \times M) \\ \bf = \frac{45}{100} \times 68 \\ \bf = 30.6$

Therefore , 45% of number = 30.6
