Question

1,200 is 55 1/4% of?

Answer 1

x = ((1200) / (0.5525) = 2,179.94570

Answer 2

The unknown number is
`2171(209)/(221)`.

Explanation:

Let the unknown number is x

Now we will write the equation to get the value of x.

`55(1)/(4)`% of x = 1200

`(221)/(4)`% of x = 1200

`(221x)/(400)=1200`

`x=(1200* 400)/(221)` [By cross multiplication]

x =
`(480000)/(221)`

`x=2171(209)/(221)`

Therefore, the unknown number is
`2171(209)/(221)`
