Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 960.

Option a is correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

$40\% \: of \: x \: + 180 = 564$

We have to find out the value x.

Percentage means divide by 100.

We can write it as,

$\frac{40}{100} \times x + 180 = 564$

By dividing 40 by 100 we get

$0.40x + 180 = 564$

Shift 180 to right it becomes -180

$0.40x = 564 - 180$

$0.40x = 384$

$x = \frac{384}{0.40}$

$x = \frac{38400}{40}$

$x = 960$

Hence,

The value of x is 960.

Option a is correct choice.
