Answer 1

2/5*3x/8=24
3x/20=24
x=24*20/3
x=160

%= 250/100*160
%=400

Answer 2

Answer:

4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

We are given that two-fifty of three-eight of a number is 24.

⇒$\frac{2}{50} \times \frac{3}{8} x = 24$

⇒$\frac{3}{200} x = 24$

⇒$x = \frac{24 \times 200}{3}$

⇒$x =8 \times 200$

⇒$x =1600$

Thus the number is 1600

Now we are supposed to find 250% of that number

$\frac{250}{100} \times 1600$

$25 \times 160$

$4000$

Thus 250 percent of that number is 4000
