Question

difference between 88% of a number and 55% of the same number is 1485 . what is 45% of that number.

Answer 1

Let the number be x.

88% of x - 55% of x = 1485

0.88x - 0.55x = 1485

0.33x = 1485

x = 4500

Now,

we want to calculate 45% of x

=45% of 4500

=(45/100) * 4500

=45 * 45

$<b>Heya mate. (^_-). Solution below.$
====================================

• Let the number be 'x'.

Then,

• 88% of the number
= 88% × x
= 88/100 × x
= 88x/100

And,

• 55% of the same number
= 55% × x
= 55/100 × x
= 55x/100


• Now, According to the question, difference between 88x/100 and 55x/100 = 1485

=> 88x/100 - 55x/100 = 1485

=> (88x - 55x)/100 = 1485... [taking LCM 100 is L.H.S]

=> 33x/100 = 1485

=> x = 1485 × 100/33

=> x = 148500/33

=> x = 4500

• Hence, the number is 4500


• Now, 45% of the number

= 45% of 4500
= 45/100 × 4500
= 45 × 45
= 2025.
