420 is 150% of what number?

Possible Answers:

300

840

210

630

280

Correct answer:

280

Explanation:

Set up the proportion statement and solve for by cross-multiplying:

$\frac{420}{N}= \frac{150}{100}$

$N \cdot 150 = 420 \cdot 100 = 42,000$

$N \cdot 150 \div 150 = 42,000 \div 150$

N = 280

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Whole From The Part With Percentage

70 is $\frac{1}{5} \%$ of what number?

Possible Answers:

35,000

$\frac{7}{50}$

14,000

350

Correct answer:

35,000

Explanation:

Set up the proportion statement and solve for by cross-multiplying:

$\frac{70}{N } = \frac{\frac{1}{5}}{100}$

$N \cdot \frac{1}{5}=70 \cdot 100 = 7,000$

$N \cdot \frac{1}{5} \cdot 5 = 7,000 \cdot 5$

N= 35,000
