Question

If the difference between 40 % and 65 % of a number is 2000 then what is the number

Answer 1

Answer:

$if. \: \: x \: is \: the \: number.$

$then$

$\frac{65x}{100} - \frac{40x}{100} = 2000 \\ or. \: \: \frac{65x - 40x}{100} = 2000 \\ or. \: \: 25x = 200000 \\ or. \: \: x = \frac{200000}{25} = 8000$

8,000 is the number..

I hope you understand..........

Answer 2

$difference = 65 - 40 = 20\%$

$25\% \: of \: a \: number = 2000$

$number \times \frac{25}{100} = 2000$

$number = \frac{2000 \times 100}{25} = 8000$
