Question

If 80% of a number is 560, what will be 70% of that number?

Answer 1

Answer is 490

We know 80% of a number (n) = 560

80% = .80

.80n = 560

Divide both sides by .80 to solve for n

.80/.80 n = 560/.80

n = 700

So our number is 700

Now we want to know 70% of that number

70% of (multiply) 700

.70 x 700 = 490

Answer 2

80% =560
100%=700
So the number is 700
Now, 70% of 700 is 490
