Question

Write a percent porportion and solve each number the numbers are 22 is 44% of what number?

Answer 1

The number is 50.

Explanation:

If we express the percentage x% in the form of ratio then it can be written as
`(x)/(100)`.

Now, it is asked which number if we make 44 % will give 22.

Let the number is given by x.

Then expressing the % as ratio we can write
`(22)/(x) = (44)/(100)`

⇒
`x=(22 * 100)/(44) = 50` ( Answer )
