Question

If 60% of x is 60 more than 60% of 60, then 60% of x​

Answer 1

$60x \div 100 \: = (\: 60 \div 100 \times 60) + 60 \\ 3x \div 5 = 3 \div 5 \times 60 + 60 \\ 3x \div 5 = 36 + 60 \\ 3x = 5 \times 96 \\ x = 5 \times 96 \div 3 \\ x = 160$

Answer 2

The answer is 160

Given: 60% of x is 60 more than 60% of 60

To find: The value of x

Solution:

To find x value we need to find 60% of 60

⇒ 60% of 60 = $\frac{60}{100} (60)$ = 6×6 = 36  

Given that 60% of x = 60 more than 60% of 60  

⇒ $\frac{60}{100} (x) = 36 + 60$  

⇒ $\frac{60}{100} (x) = 96$  

⇒ 60x = 96 × 100

⇒ 60x = 9600

⇒ 6x = 960

⇒ x = 160
