Question

Difference between 87%of a number and 15%of the same number is 1212.what is the 54%of the number

Answer 1

908.98

Explanation:

according to data

let that number be " x"

hence (87/100)x - (15/100)x = 1212

0.87x-0.15x=1212

0.72x = 1212

x = 1212/0.72

x =1683.33...................1

54% of x =( 54/100)1683.33

54% of x =908.98

Answer 2

Given:

Difference=1212

To find:

54% of the number

Solution:

54% of the number is 909.

Let the required number be X.

We are given that 87% of this number minus 15% is 1212.

So, 87% of X-15% of X=1212

87X/100-15X/100=1212

(87-15)X/100=1212

72X=1212×100

X=121200/72

Now, we will use the value of X to determine 54% of X.

54% of X=54/100×121200/72

=54×121200/100×72

=909

Therefore, 54% of the number is 909.
