PercentageEasySSC GD 2024
If 40% of a number is 800, what is 35% of the same number?
- (A)600
- (B)280
- (C)700
- (D)800
Correct answer: (C) 700
40% of the number is 800, so the number is 800 × 100 ÷ 40 = 2000. Now 35% of 2000 = 2000 × 35 ÷ 100 = 700. Hence the required value is 700.
Shortcut: Scale directly: 800 × 35/40 = 700.
