Answer 2

Answer:

45% of that number  is  388.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, let the number be m.

Now, given Five- Sixth of m = 720

⇒$\frac{5}{6}  \times m  = 720$

or, $m = \frac{720 \times 6}{5}  = 864$

Hence, the given number is 864.

Now, 45 percent  of 864 is ${\frac{45}{100}  }  \times  864}$

Solving this, we get 45% of 864 =  388.8
