Question

if the difference between in 60% of X and 20% of X is 160 find the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

[X × 60/100] - [X ×20/100] = 160

or, 3X/5 - X/5 = 160

or, 2X =160×5

so, X = (160×5)/2 = 400 (ans)

Answer 2

Answer:

60% of x — 20% of x = 160

60x/100 — 20x/100 = 160

=> 3x/5 — x/5 = 160

=> 2x/5 = 160

=> 2x = 160*5 = 800

=> x = 400
