Question

125% of what total amount is 62?

Answer 1

Answer: 49.6

Explanation:

125% = 1.25

1.25 * 0.8 = 1

62 * 0.8 = 49.6

Answer 2

49.6 or 248/5

Explanation:

You can use the "universal formula" which is (part/whole)=(part %/whole %)

if you plug in the numbers, you get (62/x)=125/100

isolate x (by cross-multiplication) to get 49.6 or 248/5

hope this helped!
