PercentageEasy
If 20% of a number is 80, what is 30% of the same number?
- (A)120
- (B)100
- (C)80
- (D)24
Correct answer: (A) 120
20% of the number is 80, so the number is 80 × 100 ÷ 20 = 400. Now 30% of 400 = 400 × 30 ÷ 100 = 120. Hence the required value is 120.
Shortcut: Scale directly: 80 × 30/20 = 120.
