Question

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

Answer 1

87.50

Explanation:

Let x be the required number,

Then 20% of x =
`(20x)/(100)` = 0.20x

According to the question,

20% of x = 35

`\implies 0.20x = 35`

Divide both sides by 0.20

`x=175`

Thus, the required number is 175,

Now, 50% of 175 =
`(50* 175)/(100)`

`=(8750)/(100)`

`=87.50`

Answer 2

For the answer to the question if 20% of a number is 35, what is 50% of that number? .2x = 50

x = 50/.2

x = 250

250 x .35 =
The answer to this problem is
87.5
