Question

If 20% of a number is 35 , what is 50 % of that number

Answer 1

Answer:

87.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using proportion

20% → 35

50% → 35 × $\frac{50}{20}$ = $\frac{35(50)}{20}$ = 87.5

Answer 2

Answer:

87.5

Step-by-step explanation:

let a number be x

20% of x = 35

20/100 * x = 35

1/5 * x = 35

x = 35*5

x = 175

50% of x

50/100 * 175

1/2 * 175

87.5
