Answer 1

Hey user

Here is your answer =>

Let the number be " x " .

So we get an equation

87% × x - 71% × x = 448

87/100 × x - 71/100 × x = 448

87x/100 - 71x/100 = 448

87x - 71x /100 = 448

16x/100 = 448

x = 448 × 100/16

x = 2800

So the number is " 28 " .

59% of 28 = 59/100 × 2800

= 59 × 28

= 1652 .

So the final answer is " 1652 " .

Thank you .
