Question

If $16(2/3)\%$ of a number is $25$, find the number.

Answer 1

Finding the required number

Let the number be $\mathrm{x}$

Then $16\frac{2}{3}\%$ of $\mathrm{x}$ is $25$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{50}{3}\%$ of $\mathrm{x}=25$

$\Rightarrow$$\frac{50}{3}\times \frac{1}{100}\times \mathrm{x}=25$

$\Rightarrow$ $\mathrm{x}=\frac{25\times 100\times 3}{50}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\mathrm{x}=150$

Hence, the required number is $150$.
