Question

96 is 60% of what number?

Answer 1

Let be "x" the number that represents 100%.

According to the information given in the exercise, 96 is 60% of the number "x".

Then, you can set up the following proportion:

`(96)/(60)=(x)/(100)`

Now you need to solve for "x" in order to find its value:

`\begin{gathered} (96)/(60)\cdot100=x \\ \\ (9600)/(60)=x \\ \\ x=160 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is:

`160`
