Question

68 is 40% of what number? a. 17 b. 136 c. 170 d. 270

Answer 1

To find the number that 68 is 40% of, we can set up the following equation:

40% of x = 68

To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 40% (or 0.4) to isolate x:

x = 68 / 0.4

Evaluating the expression on the right side of the equation gives us:

x = 170

Therefore, 68 is 40% of 170.
