Question

What number is 32% of 75?

Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?
n = 0.32(75)
0.32n = 75
n = 75 ÷ 0.32

Answer 1

1) 75/100 = 0.75 x 32 = 24
2) n= 0.32(75)
0.32x75 =24= n

Answer 2

Let

n-------> the number

we know that

`75` represent the
`100\%`

so

by proportion

Find the
`32\%` of
`75`

`(75)/(100\%)= (n)/(32\%) \\ \\100*n=75*32 \\ \\n= (32)/(100)*75 \\ \\ n=0.32*75`

therefore

the answer is

the equation is equal to

`n=0.32*(75)`
