Question

45% of a number is 180. Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

45% x X = 180

Or

45/100 x X = 180

x = 180 x 100/45

x = 400

Answer 2

Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "of" can be translated to multiplication in problems like this.

So it's essentially saying multiply 45% to 180 and give me the result.

45% can be written as 45/100 in fractions (45 percent, where cent means 100 and per means division). 45/100 can be written as 0.45 in decimal form.

Now the problem reads 0.45 X 180. Using a calculator, we can solve this and the result comes out to be 81
