Question

if 256 is 10% of jacks earnings then how much did he earn

Answer 1

Answer:

He earned ₹2560

Step-by-step explanation:

Let money earned by him be ₹x

10% of ₹x = 256

$\frac{10}{100}$ × ₹x = 256

₹x = $\frac{256*100}{10}$

₹x = ₹2560

∴He earned ₹2560

Answer 2

Let's set it up as a ratio

256 is to 10% as x is to 100%

256/10 = x/100 solve for 'x'

x= ₹2560 amount he earned for the summer

Or

Direct answer

256 × 10 = 2560
