Answer 2

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer :-}}}$

The number is 80

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Explanation :-}}}$

Consider the number as x

As Given in the question,

$\implies$40 % of x = 32

$\tt{\implies} \dfrac{40}{100} \times x = 32$

$\tt{\implies} \dfrac{40x}{100} = 32$

$\tt{\implies}40x = 32 \times 100$

$\tt{\implies}40x = 3200$

$\tt{\implies}x = \dfrac{3200}{40}$

$\tt{\implies}x = 80$

$\therefore$ The number is 80

$\textbf{\underline{\underline{Verification :-}}}$

$\tt{\implies}40\% \: of \: 80$

$\tt{\implies} \dfrac{40}{100} \times 80$

$\tt{\implies} \dfrac{3200}{100}$

$\tt{\implies}32$

$\therefore$ The number is 80
