Answer 2

The answer is 90.

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

We have been given that 78% of x is 70.2.

Mathematically, we can express this statement as :

`(78)/(100)* x=70.2`

Now we will solve for x:

`78x=70.2*100`

`78x=7020`

`x=(7020)/(78)`

x = 90

Hence, the number is 90.

We can also check that,
`0.78*90=70.2`

So, we get the answer as 90.
