Answer 2

Answer:

20 % of the number is 110.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets number is y.

The 75 % of this number y = y x 75 / 100  = 0.75 y

The 60 % of this number y = y x 60 / 100  = 0.60 y

The difference between 75% and 60% = 82.5

So we can say that

0.75 y - 0.60 y = 82.5

0.15 y = 82.5

y= 550

Now the 20 % of y = y x 20 /100

20 % of 550 = 550 x 20 /100

20 % of 550 = 110

So  20 % of the number is 110.
