Question

If $60\%$ of $x$ is $22$, then what is $45\%$ of $x$?

Answer 1

60% of x = 22
0.60x = 22
x = 22 / 0.60
x = 36.7

so 45% of x ....when x = 36.7
0.45(36.7) =16.5 <===

Answer 2

Answer:

The 45% of x is 33/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find the value of $x$.

We know that 60% of x is 22, this is expressed like this

$\frac{60}{100}x=22$

Solving for x

$\frac{60}{100}x=22\\\frac{3}{5}x=22\\x=\frac{22(5)}{3}=\frac{110}{3}$

Now, we have to find the 45% of x, which is

$\frac{45}{100}x= \frac{9}{20}(\frac{110}{3})=\frac{33}{2}$

Therefore, the 45% of x is 33/2.
