Question

What is the number whose 25% is 3.5
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. be X

As we know,

% / 100 × whole part = 3.5

Hence,

=> 25 / 100 × X = 3.5

=> 25 × X = 3.5 × 100

=> X = 350 / 25

=> X = 14

X = 14

Hence,

The no. is 14..i.e. 25% of 14 = 3.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

let the number be y

25% of y= 3.5

25 x y = 3.5

100

25y =3.5

100

25y = 100 x 3.5

25y = 350

25y = 350

divide through with 25

25y = 350

25 25

y= 14
