Question

Find the sum whose 20% is 240

Answer 1

Answer:

We have,

20% × x = 240

or,

20100 × x = 240,

Multiplying both sides by 100, and dividing both sides by 20,

we have,

x = 240 × 10020x

= 1200

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 240×100÷20, which will give you the answer.

Answer 2

20% of the number is 240

Let the number be 'x'

Then, the correct equation must be:

$\frac{20}{100} \times x$ = 240

= 20x = 240 × 100

then, the number is: x = $\frac{24000}{20}$ = 1200

Thus the number is 1200

Now, the sum will be 1200 + 240 = 1440
