Question

5.76 is 4.8% of what number?

Answer 1

120

Explanation:

Let the unknown number be x.

Therefore, if 5.76 is 4.8% of x:

`\boxed{\begin{aligned}4.8\%\; \textsf{of} \; x&=5.76\\\\\implies (4.8)/(100)x&=5.76\\\\4.8x&=576\\\\x&=(576)/(4.8)\\\\x&=120 \end{aligned}}`

So the unknown number is 120.
