Question

if 50% of a number is 170 and 20% of the same number is 68, find 70% of that number.

Answer 1

Yes it’s accurate 70% and 20% you would just multiply

Answer 2

If 50% of a number is 170, that means the number must be double 170 (170 times 2)

And 170 multiplied by 2 is 340.

Therefore, the number is 340. Now we have to find 70% of 340.

We can do that by: taking 340 times 0.70

So 340 times 0.70 is..

238
