Question

if 140 is 20% of a number,then 80% of that number is?​

Answer 1

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

Accordingly

x×20/100=140

20x=1400

x=1400÷20

x=70

80 percent

80×70/100

=8×7

=56

Answer 2

If 20 percent is 120 and you’re looking for 120 percent, since 20 percent * 6 = 120 percent, it would stand to reason 120 * 6 = the answer you’re looking for = 720.

If you do need to show your work, it would look something like:

x * 0.20 = 120

x * 1.20 = y = (x * 0.20) * 6 = 120 * 6 = 720
