Question

If 20% of a number is 35, what is 50% of that number? 

55
70
87.5
175

Answer 1

20% is 1/5 of 100% so do 35x5=175 half of 175 is 87.5

87.5 is your answer

Answer 2

If you would like to find the number, you can calculate this using the following steps:

20% of n is 35
20% * n = 35
20/100 * n = 35
n = 35 * 100 / 20
n = 175

50% of 175 = 50% * 175 = 50/100 * 175 = 87.5

The correct result would be 87.5.
