Question

5% of a number is 23
1% of the same number is 4.6

Work out 16% of the number

help please!!

Answer 1

Answer:

73.6

Step-by-step explanation:

5% of x = 23

.05 x = 23

divide by .05 on each side

x = 23/.05

x = 460

16 % of 460

.16 * 460 =

73.6

OR

16%  is 5% +5% +5% +1%

      =   23+23+23+4.6

    = 73.6
