Question

75 percent of 88 is the same as 60 percent of what number?

Answer 1

First we need to know 75% of 88.
To find this number we multiply 88 by 0.75.
Hence, 0.75 * 88 = 66

Therefore, 60% of a certain number equals 66.
Then 1% of that certain number equals 66 / 60
Finally, to find our number (which equals 100%) we multiply by 100.
So 66 / 60 * 100 = 110.

Hence, 75 percent of 88 is the same as 60 percent of 110.
