Question #682d3

Answer 1

25 percent of 96 is 24.

Explanation:

Let the number be `x`.

`25/100 xx x =24`

`=> x= 24 xx 100 / 25`

`=> x = 24 xx 4`

`=> x = 96`

Answer 2

X=96

Explanation:

You have to think backwards to solve this problem. To get 24, you would multiply .25 by some number ( in this case we don't know what that number is). We are going to call that number we don't know X.
So we know,

`x*.25=24`

now, we need to solve for x and we can do that by diviving 24 by .25. You're going to get 96.

Answer 3

`x=96`

Explanation:

Let the Unknown number be `x`
Then form an equation like this

`x xx 25/100=24`

Solve it for `x`

`x xx 25/100 xx 100 = 24 xx 100`

To cancel 100, multiply both sides with 100

`x xx 25/cancel100 xx cancel100 = 2400`

`x xx 25 = 2400`

To cancel 25, divide both sides by 25

`x xx 25/25 =2400/25`

`x xx cancel25/cancel25 =96`

`x=96`
