Question 689296

{{{75}}}% of a number {{{x}}} is {{{120}}}:



{{{75}}}% ={{{75/100=0.75}}}

so, {{{0.75x=120}}}....solve for {{{x}}}

{{{x=120/0.75}}}

{{{x=160}}}........the number is {{{160}}}


and now we can find {{{40}}}% of the number {{{160}}}

{{{40}}}%={{{40/100=0.40}}}

{{{0.40*160=x}}}....solve for {{{x}}}

{{{x=160*0.40}}}

{{{x=64}}}
