Question

If 50% of some number is 75, what is 200% of that same number?

Answer 1

Explanation:

270

50% equals to 1/2 so 1/2x=75. Times 2 on both sides you get x=135.

So 135 is x and you multiply 135 by 200%. Which get you 270.

Answer 2

300

Explanation:

A percentage is a unit of proportion that represents a ratio.

For this question let the unknown number be represented by the variable x. We know that 75 is 50% of x, or half of x. This means that we can find the unknown number by doubling 75.

• 75*2=150

This means that x is 150. Next, we need to find 200% of 150. 200% of any number is that number times 2. So, to find the final answer we must once again double 150.

• 150*2=300

So, the final answer is 300.
