Question

What is 40% of a number whose 200% is 120

Answer 1

Answer:

first

200% of x is 120

x =120*100/200=60

x=60

40%of 60

40/100*60=24

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be x

200% of x = 120

x = 120/200%

= 120 *100/200

= 120/2 = 60

If x = 60, then 40% of x

= 40% of 60

= 40/100 * 60

= 4 * 6

= 24
