Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

8/100 × 60 = 1/5 × X

8×60/100 = X/5  

480x5/100 = X  

2400/100 = X  

24 = X

Answer 2

The number is 24

Let the number be x

Then, we would express the problem as an equation

From the question, we have that

8% of 60 is 1/5 of what number​

That means

8% × 60 = 1/5 of x​

Writing the above equation properly, we get

$8\% \times 60 = \frac{1}{5} \times x$

Now, we will solve for x

$8\% \times 60 = \frac{1}{5} \times x$ becomes

$\frac{8}{100} \times 60 = \frac{1}{5} \times x$

Then,

$0.08 \times 60 = \frac{1}{5} x$

$4.8 = \frac{1}{5} x$

∴ $x = 4.8 \times 5$

x = 24

Hence, the number is 24
