Question

The difference between 78% of a number and 59% of the same number is 323. What is 62% of that number?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

then according to question

78x/100 - 59x/100 = 323

on taking LCM

78x - 59x = 323 * 100

19x = 32300

x = 32300/19

x = 1700

hence the number is 1700

62% of 1700 = (62 *1700)/100

                     = 62*17

                     = 1054              answer

hope you got the solution
