Question

If 20% of a number is 175, what is 32% of the number? EXPLAIN and show your working.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

so , 20% of x = 175

20/100 × x = 175

x = 175 × 100/20

x = 875

now the number obtained is x = 875

so 32% of 875

32/100 × 875

8/25 × 875

8 × 35

= 280
