Question

If 15% of x is 75 , Find x
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 500.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to find x if 15% of x is 75.

Now, in 100, we are taking 15.

In 1 we will take 15/100

In x we will take (15/100)×x= (15x/100).

Hence, we get 15% of x is (15x/100). It must be equal to 75.

∴15x/100=75

$or, x=\frac{(75)(100)}{15} \\or, x=(5) (100)\\or, x= 500.$

Hence, The value of x is 500.

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x will be 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that 15% of x is 75

This can be written as 15% of x = 75

We have to find the value of x

So, 15% of x = 75

15% × x = 75

(15/100) × x = 75

0.15x = 75

x = 75/0.15

x = 500

So, 15% of 500 will be equal to 75
