Question

This is so confusing pls help: 60 percent of 78 is the same as 65 percent of what number?

Answer 1

60 percent of 78 is the same as 65 percent of 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the unknown number.

According to given statement;

60% of 78 = 65% of x

$\frac{60}{100}*78=\frac{65}{100}x\\0.60*78=0.65*x\\46.8=0.65x\\0.65x=46.8$

Dividing both sides by 0.65

$\frac{0.65x}{0.65}=\frac{46.8}{0.65}\\x=72$

Therefore;

60 percent of 78 is the same as 65 percent of 72.
