Question

If 9% of a number equals 10, find 27% of that number.

Answer 1

Answer: 27% of the number is 30.

Explanation:

Let's start by setting up an equation to solve for the number:

0.09x = 10

Here, x represents the number we are trying to find. To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.09:

x = 10 ÷ 0.09

x = 111.11...

So the number we are looking for is approximately 111.11.

To find 27% of this number, we can multiply it by 0.27:

27% of 111.11... = 0.27 × 111.11...

27% of 111.11... = 30

Therefore, 27% of the number is 30.
