Question

$0.75$ of a number is $1200$. What is $\frac{5}{8}$ of that number?

• A. $1000$
• B. $1060$
• C. $880$
• D. $8002$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $1000$

Let the required number be $x$
According to question, we have
$0.75$ of $x$ $=1200$
$\Rightarrow \frac{75}{100}\times x=1200$
$\Rightarrow x=1200\times \frac{100}{75}=1600$
Therefore, required number is $1600$.
Now, $\frac{5}{8}$ of the number $=\frac{5}{8}\times 1600=1000$.

Thus the required number is $1000$.
