Question

if 12 1/2 % , 0f any number is 20, then what is the 60% of that number

Answer 1

$Let\:\:the\:\:unknown\:\:number\:\:is\:\:n.\\\\Then, \frac{25}{2}\: (percentage) \:\:of\:\:n =\:20\\\\\frac{25}{2\times100} \times\:n=20\\\\n=\frac{20\:\times\:100\:\times\:2}{25} =160\\\\\\\\\\\\\\Now, 60\:(percentage)\:of\:160=\frac{60\times160}{100}=96$

Answer 2

60% of that number is 96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x. By the given condition,

$12\dfrac{1}{2}$ % of x is 20

⇒ $\dfrac{25}{2}$ % of x is 20

⇒ $\dfrac{25}{2}$ × $\dfrac{1}{100}$ × x = 20

⇒ $\dfrac{1}{8}$ × x = 20

⇒ x = 20 × 8

⇒ x = 160

So, the required number is 160.

Now, 60% of 160

= $\dfrac{60}{100}$ × 160

= 96
