Question

Answer the following questions.
(a) 45% of what is 36?

(b) What number is 65% of 60?

Answer 1

what is the answer to both

Answer 2

(a) To find 45% of what is 36, you can set up the equation:

\[
0.45 \times x = 36
\]

To find \( x \), divide both sides by 0.45:

\[
x = \frac{36}{0.45}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
x = 80
\]

So, 45% of 80 is 36.

(b) To find what number is 65% of 60, you can set up the equation:

\[
0.65 \times 60 = y
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
y = 0.65 \times 60 = 39
\]

So, 65% of 60 is 39.

In summary:
(a) 80
(b) 39
