Question

48%of 480+25%of250_x=200

Answer 1

Of means multiplication in maths.

When we are multiplying percentages by whole numbers, we must always convert them to fraction.

48% of 480 = 48/100 × 480 = 230.4

25% of 250 = 25/100 × 250 = 62.5

Substituting in the question we have :

230.4 + 62.5 - x = 200

We want to get the value of x.

- x = 200 - 230.4 - 62.5 = - 92.9

-x = - 92.9

Dividing through by - 1 we get :

x = 92.9
