Question

56 is 28% of an unknown number is (x)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

28% of an unknown number is (x)=56

28/100 of x=56

x=56×100/28=200

Answer 2

Change 28% to a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left:

28% = 0.28

Write the question as an equation to get:

56 = 0.28x

Now to solve for x, divide both sides by 0.28:

x = 56 / 0.28

x = 200

The unknown number is 200.
