Question

Find the number if: 4% of it is 31% of 16.4

Answer 1

Answer:

The number (x) is 127.1

Step-by-step explanation:

4% of a number (x) is equal to;

31% of 16.4

i.e 0.04x = 5.084

x = $\frac{5.084}{0.04}$ = 127.1

The number (x) is 127.1

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 127.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown number.

It is given that 4% of the number is 31% of 16.4

4% of x  = 31% of 16.4

$x\times \dfrac{4}{100}=16.4\times \dfrac{31}{100}$

$\dfrac{4x}{100}=\dfrac{508.4}{100}$

Multiply both sides by 100.

$\dfrac{4x}{100}\times 100=\dfrac{508.4}{100}\times 100$

$4x=508.4$

Divide both sides by 4.

$x=\dfrac{508.4}{4}$

$x=127.1$

Therefore, the unknown number is 127.1.
