Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \tt{33.33}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \: \sf{ \: Suppose, \: the \: number \: be \: x}}$

$\star \: \sf \: Create \: an \: equation \: and \: solve \: for \: x$

$\underline{ \underline{ \mathfrak{lets \: solve}}} :$

$\sf{ \: 60\% \: \: of \: \: x \: = 20}$

$\text{Step \: 1} : \sf{ \: Convert \: percentage \: ( \%) \: into \: fraction}$

$\sf{To \: do \: so, \: Divide \: it \: by \: 100 \: and \: remove \: the \: \% \: symbol. \: }$

$\sf{Then, \: Simplify \: the \: fraction \: to \: its \: lowest \: term.}$

$\hookrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{60}{100} x = 20}}$

$\hookrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{ \cancel{60} ^{ \: \: 3} }{ \cancel{100} \: ^{ \: 5} } x = 20}}$

$\hookrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{3}{5}x = 20}}$

$\hookrightarrow{ \sf{0.6x = 20}}$

$\text{Step \: 2} : \sf{Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 0.6}$

$\hookrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{0.6x}{0.6} = \frac{20}{0.6}}}$

$\text{Step \: 3} : \sf{Calculate}$

$\hookrightarrow{ \sf{x = 33.33}}$

The required number is 33.33
