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
