Question

48 is 60% of what number? Use the percent equation.

Answer 1

80

Explanation:

8 is 10% of 80 and this was 60% (logical I guess)

Answer 2

The number is 80

Explanation:

Let the total number be T

From the question, 60% of the total number gives 48 i.e

60% of T = 48

60/100 x T = 48

Cross multiply to express in linear form

60T = 48 x 100

60T = 4800

Divide both side by the coefficient of T ie 60

T = 4800/60

T = 80

The number is 80
