Question

If x%of 288 is 48.then determine the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x=50/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert x% into x/100(they mean the same thing). Then write the equation: x/100 * 288 = 48. When you solve for x, you get 50/3.

Answer 2

Answer:

16.67 = 50/3

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of percentage we have,

a% of b equivalent to (a×b)÷100.

So, It is given that

x%of 288 is 48

⇒ 288x/100 = 48

Multiplying both sides by 100 we have,

⇒288x = 4800

Dividing both the sides by 288, we have,

⇒ x = 4800/288 ≈ 16.67
