Question

20 is 60% of what number

Answer 1

`\huge{ \boxed{ \tt{33.33}}}`

Explanation:

`\star{ \: \sf{ \: Suppose, \: the \: number \: be \: x}}`

`\star \: \sf \: Create \: an \: equation \: and \: solve \: for \: x`

`\underline{ \underline{ \mathfrak{lets \: solve}}} :`

`\sf{ \: 60\% \: \: of \: \: x \: = 20}`

`\text{Step \: 1} : \sf{ \: Convert \: percentage \: ( \%) \: into \: fraction}`

`\sf{To \: do \: so, \: Divide \: it \: by \: 100 \: and \: remove \: the \: \% \: symbol. \: }`

`\sf{Then, \: Simplify \: the \: fraction \: to \: its \: lowest \: term.}`

`\hookrightarrow{ \sf{ (60)/(100) x = 20}}`

`\hookrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{ \cancel{60} ^( \: \: 3) }{ \cancel{100} \: ^( \: 5) } x = 20}}`

`\hookrightarrow{ \sf{ (3)/(5)x = 20}}`

`\hookrightarrow{ \sf{0.6x = 20}}`

`\text{Step \: 2} : \sf{Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 0.6}`

`\hookrightarrow{ \sf{ (0.6x)/(0.6) = (20)/(0.6)}}`

`\text{Step \: 3} : \sf{Calculate}`

`\hookrightarrow{ \sf{x = 33.33}}`

The required number is 33.33

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
