Question

Find the number whose $35\%$ is $42$.

Answer 1

Finding the required number

As per given statement, $35\%$ of a number is equal to $42$.

$\Rightarrow 35\%$ of required number $=42$

$\Rightarrow \frac{35}{100}\times$required number $=42$

$\therefore$ Required number $=\frac{42\times 100}{35}=\frac{42\times \cancel{100}20}{\cancel{35}7}$

$=\frac{42\times 20}{7}=\frac{\cancel{42}6\times 20}{\cancel{7}1}=120$

Hence, the required number is $120$.
