Answer the following questions.

Question

(a) 85% of 80 is what?

(b) 35% of what number is 14?

Answer 1

(a) To find 85% of 80, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} \times \text{Whole} = \text{Part} \]

So,

\[ 0.85 \times 80 = 68 \]

Therefore, 85% of 80 is 68.

(b) To find what number 35% of it equals 14, you can set up the equation:

\[ 0.35 \times x = 14 \]

To find \( x \), divide both sides by 0.35:

\[ x = \frac{14}{0.35} = 40 \]

Therefore, 35% of 40 is 14.
