Question

If 65% of a number is 182 and 95% of the same number is 266, find 30% of that
number.

Answer 1

84

Explanation:

.65x = 182

x = 280

.95x = 266

x = 280

you can use x for both equations, because it is the same number, you can check them by plugging in the equtation. 65% of 280 is 182, and 95% of 280 is 266.

30% of 280

.3(280) = 84
