Question

If $60\%$ of $x$ is $22$, then what is $45\%$ of $x$?

Answer 1

60% of x = 22
0.60x = 22
x = 22 / 0.60
x = 36.7

so 45% of x ....when x = 36.7
0.45(36.7) =16.5 <===

Answer 2

The 45% of x is 33/2.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find the value of
`x`.

We know that 60% of x is 22, this is expressed like this

`(60)/(100)x=22`

Solving for x

`(60)/(100)x=22\\(3)/(5)x=22\\x=(22(5))/(3)=(110)/(3)`

Now, we have to find the 45% of x, which is

`(45)/(100)x= (9)/(20)((110)/(3))=(33)/(2)`

Therefore, the 45% of x is 33/2.
