Question

If 15% of a number equals 10, find 75% of that number.

Answer 1

Answer: 49.95

Explanation:

15%/100%=0.15

The percent is the same as 0.15

0.15x=10

x= 66.6

0.75*66.6= 49.95

Answer 2

75% of the number is equal to 50

Explanation:

To find 75% of a number, we can multiply the number by 0.75. To find the number, we can first use the equation 15% * x = 10 to find what 15% of the number is equal to. Then we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.15 to find the value of x.

Here's how we can solve this problem:

First, let's set up the equation that represents the problem: 15% * x = 10

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.15 to find the value of x:

(15% * x) / 0.15 = 10 / 0.15

This simplifies to:

x = 10 / 0.15

Finally, we can multiply x by 0.75 to find 75% of the number:

0.75 * x = 0.75 * (10 / 0.15)

This simplifies to:

0.75 * x = 50

Therefore, 75% of the number is equal to 50
