Question

If 10% of x is 20 what is 23% of x

Answer 1

46 (23%)

Explanation:

If 10% of x is 20, we can assume that 100% of x is 200. This is because since 10% is such a nice number to work with, we can simply add a zero to the end of it and the number. Now, we can see that 50% is 100 and 25% is 50. 20% is 40 and 10% is 20. 5% is 10 and 1% is 2. That being said, we need to do 50% + 3%. Which leaves us with 50 (25%) - 4 (2%). That being said, the answer is 46 (23%).

Answer 2

The answer is x=46, 10% of 200 is 20 and 23% of 200 is 46
