When 20% of a number is added to 36 then the resultant number is 200%

1.	When 20% of a number is added to 36 then the resultant number is 200% of the actual number. Then find 40% of actual number. 1. 102. 83. 124. 6
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 8 Calculations: Let the actual number be x According to the question ⇒ 20% of x + 36 = 200% of x ⇒ (20/100) × x + 36 = (200/100) × x ⇒ x/5 + 36 = 2x ⇒ 36 = 2x – x/5 ⇒ 9x/5 = 36 ⇒ x = 20 40% of x ⇒ (40/100) × 20 = 8 ∴ 40% of actual number is 8

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 8

Calculations:

Let the actual number be x

According to the question

⇒ 20% of x + 36 = 200% of x

⇒ (20/100) × x + 36 = (200/100) × x

⇒ x/5 + 36 = 2x

⇒ 36 = 2x – x/5

⇒ 9x/5 = 36

⇒ x = 20

40% of x

⇒ (40/100) × 20 = 8

∴ 40% of actual number is 8
