Question

Sixty-five percent of what number is 32.5?
21.125
140
30
50

Answer 1

The answer is 50. You can figure that out on a calculator by putting typing each answer and multiplying it times .65. So 50 times .65 is 32.5

Answer 2

For this case we can raise a rule of three:

x ---------------> 100%

32.5 ---------------> 65%

Where the variable "x" represents the number we want to find:

$x = \frac {32.5 * 100} {65}\\x = \frac {3250} {65}\\x = 50$

So, the number is 50.
