Question

96 is 60% of what number?

Answer 1

Let be "x" the number that represents 100%.

According to the information given in the exercise, 96 is 60% of the number "x".

Then, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{96}{60}=\frac{x}{100}$

Now you need to solve for "x" in order to find its value:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{96}{60}\cdot100=x \\ \\ \frac{9600}{60}=x \\ \\ x=160 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is:

$160$
