Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 300 and 20% of it is 60

Explanation:

Given that,

65% of a number is more than it's 25% by 120

Considering the number as x

So, it goes like this :

➙ 65% of x is more than it's 25% by 120

Or,

⇒ (65% of x) - (25% of x) = 120

Solving for x :

⇒ (65% * x) - (25% * x) = 120

⇒ 65x/100 - 25x/100 = 120

⇒ 40x/100 = 120

⇒ 40x = 120*100 [Multiplying 100 in both side]

⇒ 40x = 12000 [Divide 40 in both side]

⇒ x = 300

Therefore the number is 300 ☑

_______________________________

Here, it is told to find the 20% of the number i.e., 1/5 of 300.

So,

→ 1/5 of 300

→ 60

Hence, 20% of 300 is 60 ☑
