Question

if 20% of x is 500 find the value of x?​

Answer 1

Required Answer :-

• The value of x is 2500.

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find :-

• The value of x

Given :

• If 20% of x is 500

Therefore,

• 20% × x = 500

⇒ 20% × x = 500

⇒ 20/100 × x = 500

⇒ 2/10 × x = 500

⇒ 1/5 × x = 500

⇒ x = (500 × 5) ÷ (1)

⇒ x = 500 × 5

⇒ x = 2500

∴ The value of x is 2500

Now, Verification

• 20% × x = 500

Here,

• L.H.S = 20% × x
• R.H.S = 500

By evaluating L.H.S (putting the value of x in L.H.S) We have, x = 2500

⇒ 20% × x

⇒ 20/100 × x

⇒ 20/100 × 2500

⇒ 2/10 × 2500

⇒ 1/5 × 2500

⇒ 1 × 500

⇒ 500

Now, L.H.S = 500 and we have R.H.S = 500,

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, Verified!
