112/100 of which is 56

Answer 1

To solve for a number where 112/100 of that number equals 56, we can set up the equation and solve for the unknown number. Let's denote the unknown number as \(X\).

We know that:
\[
\frac{112}{100} \times X = 56
\]

First, simplify \(\frac{112}{100}\):
\[
\frac{112}{100} = 1.12
\]

So the equation becomes:
\[
1.12 \times X = 56
\]

Now, solve for \(X\) by dividing both sides of the equation by 1.12:
\[
X = \frac{56}{1.12}
\]

Perform the division:
\[
X = 50
\]

Therefore, the number is \(50\).
