Question

The sum of 25% of a number and 15% of the sum number is 144. what is 44% of that number?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let no =X

25/100*X +15/100*X=144

1/4x+3/20x=144

5+3/20*X= 144

8/20 X=144

X= 144*20/8

X=360

now

44%of X =44/100*360

=158.4

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be X:

25x/100 + 15x/100 = 144

40x/100 = 144

40x = 144×100

x = 14400/40

x = 360

We want 44% of x

44% of x = 44×360/100

= 158.4
