Question

Complete the following statement mentally.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number be U.

From the question given above, we were told that any number of B is 50% of the total number (i.e U).

Now, we shall determine the the total number (U) in terms of B.

50% of U = B

50/100 × U = B

50U / 100 = B

Cross multiply

50U = 100B

Divide both side by 50

U = 100B/50

U = 2B

Thus, the total number is 2B

Finally, we shall determine the answer to the question:

111 is 50% of ___

B = 111

Total number (U) = 2B

Total number (U) = 2 × 111

Total number (U) = 222

Therefore,

111 is 50% of 222
