Question

If 35% of a number is 98 and 80% of the same number is 224, find 45% of that number.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

126

Explanation:

If n represents the original number, we have

(35%)n = 98

(80%)n = 224

We want to find (45%)n.

(45%)n = (80% -35%)n = (80%)n -(35%)n

(45%)n = 224 -98 = 126

45% of the number is 126.
