Question

If 16% of a number is 80 than find original number

Answer 1

The original number is 500.

Given:

16% of a number is 80.

To Find:

The original number.

Solution:

We will solve this problem by finding an equivalent expression of the statement in the question and then solving it.

Let us assume that the original number is 'n'.

We are given that 16% of the number is 80.

⇒ 16% of n = 80

Let us solve for 'n'.

16/100 x n = 80

⇒ n = (80 x 100)/16 = 500.

Hence, the value of n is 500.

∴ The original number is 500.
