Answer 1

Answer:

75% of a number is 304.5 more than 40% of the

Answer 2

25% of that number would be 217.5

Given,

75% of a number is 304.5 more than 40% of the same number.

To Find,

What is 25% of that number​

Solution,

Let the number be 'x'

According to the question,

75% of x = 40% of x + 304.5

(75/100 * x) = (40/100 * x) + 304.5

0.75x = 0.40x + 304.5

0.75x - 0.40x = 304.5

(0.75 - 0.40)x = 304.5

0.35x = 304.5

x = 304.5/0.35

x = 870

Hence, the number is 870.

Now 25% of this number would be -

⇒ 25% of 870

⇒ 25/100 * 870

⇒ 0.25 * 870

⇒ 25% of 870

⇒ 217.5

Thus, 25% of that number would be 217.5
