Question

Problem:(6)- 70% of what number is 56?

Answer 1

Answer: 70% of what number is 56, we can translate this problem into mathematics as follows:

`(70)/(100)x=56\rightarrow(1)`

The answer is the solution to equation (1) which is as follows:

`\begin{gathered} (70)/(100)x=56 \\ \\ x=(56*100)/(70)=80 \\ \\ x=80 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} (70)/(100)x=56 \\ \\ \\ \\ x=(56*100)/(70)=80 \\ \\ \\ x=80 \end{gathered}`

Testing this number:

`(70)/(100)*80=56\rightarrow\text{ Correct}`

Therefore 70% of 80 is 56.
