Question

If 20% of a number is 35, what is 50% of that number? A. 55 b. 70 c. 87.5 d. 175 reset next

Answer 1

Hi,

To find the value of the number we have to first find the value of the single percantage of this number. We can do so by dividing 35 with 20.


`35 / 20 = 1.75`

The value of single percantage would be 1.75.
Mathematically: 1% = 1.75

Now to get the value of 50% we simply multiply the value of 1% with 50.


`1.75 * 50 = 87.5`

So 50% of unknown number is 87.5 that would be the ANSWER (D).

Hope this helps.
