Question

Kate wasn’t feeling well so she only did 10 push-ups this morning. This is only 20% of the number is push-ups she usually does each day how many push ups does Kate do

Answer 1

Explanation

:

10 = 20% of x. X is the number of push-ups she usually does

10 = (20/100) of x

10 = 20x/100

By cross multiplication

10×100 = 20x

1000 = 20x

x = 1000/20

x= 50 pushups

Answer 2

Kate does 50 pushups per day

Using the formula, part = percent of whole

10 = 20/100 * X

You would divide the part by the percent to find the whole, which is 50.

Therefore, she normally does 50 push-ups per day
