Question

If 6 is 25% of a number, what is 40% of the same number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{25}{100} \times x = 6 \\ x = \frac{100}{25} \times 6$

$x = 24$

The number is 24.

$24 \times \frac{40}{100} = \frac{48}{5} = 9.6$

Answer 2

Let the no. be x

If 25% of x is 6

then,

x × 25÷100 = 6

x= 6×4

x=24

NOW,

40% of x which means

40% of 24 = 40÷100×24

= 48/5

= 9.6
