Question

find the value of x in 20% of x =50​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 Per cent means a hundredth part or 1/100. ' Of ' means multiplication.

Therefore, 20% of x = 20. 1/100.x = x/5……………………….………..(1)

Given, 20% of x = 80…………………. ……………………..………………(2)

Equating (1) and (2),

x/5 = 80 Multiplying both sides by 5,

1.x = 5x80 This yields

x = 400
