Question

If 32% of a number is 64 what is the number

Answer 1

Answer: 200

Step-by-step explanation:

32% of y = 64

32/100 × y = 64

32y/100 = 64

32y = 100 × 64

32y = 6400

y =6400/32

y= 200

The number is 200

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x

$32\% \: of \: x = 64 \\ \\ \frac{32}{100} \times x = 64 \\ \\ x = 64 \times \frac{100}{32} \\ \\ x = 2 \times 100 \\ \\ x = 200$

Thus, the required number is 200.
