Answer 2

Given:

7/3% of a number is 147

To find:

The number

Solution:

We can find the number by following the steps given below-

Let us assume that the number is X.

We know that 7/3% of X=147

To calculate the percentage of a number, we need to multiply it by the given percent and divide it by 100.

7/3% of x= (7/3×X)/100

=7X/3×100

=7x/300

7x/300=147

7x=300×147

x=300×147/7

x=300×21

x=6,300

Therefore, the number is 6,300.
