Question

40 is 125% of what number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 125% × x = 40

or,  

125/100 *x - 40

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 125,

we have x = 40 × 100/125

x = 32

Answer 2

40 is 125% of 32

$40 = \frac{125}{100} \times x \\ 40 = \frac{5}{4} x \\ x = \frac{40 \times 4}{5} = 32$
