Question

5% of a number is 23 1% of the same number is 4.6

Answer 1

Answer: The number is 460

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Given, 1% of x = 4.6

⇒1/100 x = 4.6

∴ x= 4.6 × 100

= 460

For cross checking,

Also given 5% of x = 23

⇒5/100 × x = 23

⇒x= 23 × 100/5

= 23 × 20

= 460

Therefore, we know that the number is 460
