Question

What will be 60% of a number whose 150% is 120?​

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The required number is 48.

What to do?

• Find 60% of a number whose 150% is 120.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Before finding the required number, let's find the number whose 150% is 120, then we will find 60% of the number obtained.

Let :-

• The number be "x".

Given that :-

• 150% of "x" is 120.

Therefore,

$\dashrightarrow \sf150\% \: of \: x = 120$

$\dashrightarrow \sf\dfrac{150}{100} \times x = 120$

$\dashrightarrow \sf\dfrac{150x}{100} = 120$

$\dashrightarrow \sf150x = 120 \times 100$

$\dashrightarrow \sf150x = 12000$

$\dashrightarrow \sf x = \cancel{\dfrac{12000}{150}}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf x = 80$

-----------------------------------------------------------

• We get the number 80, so now let's find 60% of this number!

$\dashrightarrow \tt60\% \: of \: 80$

$\dashrightarrow \tt\dfrac{6\!\!\!\not0}{1\!\!\!\not0\!\!\!\not0} \times 8\!\!\!\not0$

$\dashrightarrow \tt \dfrac{6}{1} \times 8$

$\dashrightarrow \tt6 \times 8$

$\dashrightarrow \tt48$

Hence :-

• The required number is 48.
