One-eighth of a number is 41.5. What will 69% of that number be ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
Let the number be x
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{8}x = 41.5 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 41.5 \times 8 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 332 \cr & \therefore 69\% \,\,{\text{of}}\,\,332 \cr & = \left( {\frac{{69}}{{100}} \times 332} \right) \cr & = 229.08 \cr} $$
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{8}x = 41.5 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 41.5 \times 8 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 332 \cr & \therefore 69\% \,\,{\text{of}}\,\,332 \cr & = \left( {\frac{{69}}{{100}} \times 332} \right) \cr & = 229.08 \cr} $$
