Question

65% of a number is more than its 25% by 120. what is 20% of that number?

Answer 1

65x/100= 25x/100 +120
65x/100=25x+12000/100
65x= 25x+ 12000
40x = 12000
x=12000/40=300

Answer 2

Let the unknown number be x

Then According to Question,

65(x)/100  = 25(x)/100 + 120

65(x)/100 - 25(x)/100 = 120

40(x)/100 = 120

2(x)/5 = 120

   2(x) = 120 × 5

       x = 600/2

       x = 300.

Now, 20 % of the number = 20/100  × (300)

                                           = 60
