Question 141

The difference between 56% of a number and 41% of the same number is 660. What is 8% of that number ?

Solution

Let the number be $$100x$$

Acc to ques,

=> $$(\frac{56}{100} * 100x) - (\frac{41}{100} * 100x) = 660$$

=> $$56x - 41x = 660$$

=> $$x = \frac{660}{15} = 44$$

$$\therefore$$ 8% of the number = $$\frac{8}{100} * 100x = 8 * x$$

= 8 * 44 = 352
