Question

If 60% of a number is 90, what is 4/5 of the number?


​

Answer 1

120

Explanation:

60% of a number is 90.

Let the number be x.

60% of x = 90

0.6x = 90

x = 90/0.6

x = 150

The number is 150.

4/5 of 150 =

= 4/5 * 150

= 120

Answer 2

120

Explanation:

We can do 90*(100/60) to figure out which number is 90 when it is only 60 percent. This means the original number was 150. Now we just do 150/5 which equals 30. Then we can multiply 30*4 = 120.
