Answer 1

Explanation:

40% of the number is 64 (C)

Answer 2

B.64

Explanation:

75% of a number is 120.

Let's take "x" be the number.

75% of x = 120

75/100 * x = 120

0.75x = 120

x = 120/0.75

x = 160

So the number is 160.

Now we have to find the 40% of the number 160.

= 40/100 * 160

= 0.4 *160

= 64

40% of the number is B.64

Thank you.
