Question

If 40% of a number is 96 find the number

Answer 1

Given:

• 40% of a number is 96

To find:

• number?

Solution:

Here, we are given that 40% of a number is 96. Let suppose that required number is x

Now, if we have supposed that number is x, then we can say that:

• 40% of x = 96

Let solve this :-

40% of x = 96

→ 40x/100 = 96

→ 40x = 96×100 [ shifted 100 in RHS]

→ 40x = 9600

→ x = 9600/40 [shifted 40 in RHS]

→ x = 240

Therefore,

• Required number is 240
