Question

if 9.5% of a number is 76 find the number

Answer 1

let the number be x
therefore
9.5x/100=76
=x=7600/9.5
x=800

Answer 2

Given,

Let the number be x

then, 9.5 % of x = 76

i.e.

$\frac{9.5}{100} \times x = 76$

$\frac{95}{1000} \times x = 76$

$x = 76 \times \frac{1000}{95}$

By simplifying we get ...x = 800
