Question

60% of 3/8 of a number is 180 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

60% means 60/100

60% of 3/5 of a number is 36. Accordingly

60/100 × 3x/5 = 36

180x/500 = 36

Cross multiplication

180x = 36 × 500

x = (36 x 500)/180

x = 2 × 500/10

x = 2 × 50

x = 100

Means number is 100

Answer the number is 100

Answer 2

The number is, 800

Given : 60% of 3/8 of a number is 180

To find : The number.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the number)

Let, the number = x

⅜ of the number = x × ⅜ = 3x/8

60% of the ⅜ of the number = (3x/8) × 60% = (3x/8) × 60/100 = 9x/40

According to the data mentioned in the question,

9x/40 = 180

x = 180 × 40/9

x = 800

(This value of x will be our required number. So, this will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the number is 800
