Question

If 40% of a sum of money is 5600, what is the total sum of money?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the total sum of money = ₹14000

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total sum of money be y

40% x y = 5600

40/100 x y = 5600

y = 5600 x 100/40

y = 5600 x 10/4

y = 14000

Answer 2

Given: The $40$% of a sum of money is Rs.$5600$

We have to find the total sum of money.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

Let assume the total sum of money be'$x$'.

From the given statement, we can write:

$\Rightarrow 40\%ofx=5600\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{40}{100}x=5600\\\\\Rightarrow 40x=5600\times100\\\Rightarrow 40x=560000\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{560000}{40}\\\\\Rightarrow x=14000$

Solving the above equation further we get,

The total sum of money is$14000$.

Hence, the total sum of money will be$14000$.
