Question

40percent of a number is 360.what is the 25percent of the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 225.

Step-by-step explanation:

1- First, find the number.

Let's suppose the number is X.

40% means 40 / 100

SO,  

40 / 100 x X = 360

40 x X = 360 X 100

40 X = 36000

X = 36000/40

X = 900

2- The number is 900. Now find the 25% of this number.

25% means 25/100

X = 25/100 x 900

X= 22500 / 100

X = 225  

Thus the 25% of 900 is 225.

Answer 2

Let the number be x .

40%of x =360

40/100 • x= 360 .

2/5 • x= 360

x= 360 • 5/2

x= 180•5

x=900

therefore , the number is 900 .

Now calculating its 25%.

25/100 • 900

1/4 • 900 = 225 .

25% of 900 is 225

Hope this would help.
