Answer the following questions.
(a) 39 is 75% of what number?
(b) 27 is what percent of 60?

Answer 1

a) the number is 52

b)27 is 45 percent of 60

Explanation:

(a) 39 = 75% of x

75/100 * x = 39

x = 39 * 100 /75

= 39 * 4/3 = 13 *4

= 52

b) 27 = x% of 60

27 = (x/100) * 60

x * 60 / 100 = 27

x = 27 * 100 / 60

= 27 * 5/3 = 9 * 5

= 45
