Answer 1

$\bold{26 \times \frac{2}{3} \: of \: a \: no. \: = \: 50 }\\ \\ \\ \bold{let \: } \\ \\ \bold{the\: no.\: be\: x} \\ \\\\ \\ \bold{\frac{26 \times \frac{2}{3} }{100} \times \: \: x = 50}$$\bold{\frac{26 \times 2}{100 \times 3} \times x = 50 }\\ \\ \bold{26 \times 2 \times x= 100 \times 3 \times 50}$$\bold{x = \frac{100 \times 150}{26 \times 2}} \\ \\ \bold{x = \frac{50 \times 75}{13} }\\ \\ \bold{x = \: \frac{3750}{13} }\\ \\ x = \bold{288.46} \\ \\ \\ \bold{the \: no. \: = \: 288.46 \: }\\ \\ \\ \\ \bold{60 \: \% \: of \: that \: no. :} \\ \\ \bold{\frac{60}{100} \times 288.46 \:} \\ \\ \bold{173.076}$

Answer 2

80/300x = 500

x = 1875

60% of 1875 = 1125
