Question

80% of a number is 96.

What is 25% of that same number?
A. 20
B. 30
C. 40
D. 120

Answer 1

'of' in mathematics means multiplication
'is' in mathematics means equal

\(\sf\Large \frac{80}{100} \cdot x = 96\)

Can you solve for 'x'?

Answer 2

Would The x Be 120 So 80/100 Times 120 Be 96. So Would It Be D.120?

Answer 3

Plan of attack:
1. Let n represent the number.
2. write an equation involving that number and the given info: 0.8n=96
3. solve this for n
4. Find 25% of n (multiply n by 0.25)

Answer 4

Wait It Cant Be D! Its A Im Pretty Sure Its Supposed To Be A! Is It A?

Answer 5

Unfortunately, no. Are you willing to follow the plan of attack I've written for y ou?

It'd save you time, and perhaps be clearer to others, if you'd please not capitalize the first letter of every word. Just a suggestion.

Answer 6

What is n, the "number" we started with here?
