If 40 is subtracted from 60% of a number, the result is 50. Find the number.
Answers
Given that
40 is subtracted from 60 % of number and the result obtained is 50
We need to find the number
Solution
Let the number from which 60% gets subtracted be =X
As per the given condition, the equation becomes
60% (X)-40 = 50
=( 60/100 ) x – 40 = 50
= 6/10X = 50+40
=6/10X = 90
=X = 10/6 x 90
=X = 900/6
=X = 150
If 40 is subtracted from 60 % of 150 and the result obtained will be 50
Answer:
If when you subtract 40 from 60% and get 50, that means that 60% comprises of both 50 and 40. Right? So what is that? 90 right? Next we have to figure out what 1 percent is. This is called the unitary method. To find this, we have to divide 90 by 60. that’s 1 and a half. Or 1.5. So if that’s 1 %, to find 100%, we simply multiply that number by 100. which equals 150, and therefore the number and solution to the answer is 150.
