Question

Select the correct answer.
If 10% of x is 20, what is 23% of x?

Answer 1

To find 23% of x when 10% of x is 20, set up a proportion to solve for x. Then, multiply 23% by x to find the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 23% of x when 10% of x is 20, we can set up a proportion:

10/100 = 20/x

Cross-multiplying, we get:

10x = 20 * 100

Dividing both sides by 10, we find:

x = 20 * 100 / 10

Therefore, x = 200

To find 23% of x, we can simply multiply 23% by x:

23/100 * 200 = 46

So, 23% of x is 46.
