Question:

The difference between the 38% of a number and 22% of that number is 3200. What is the $15\frac{1}{2}\%$ of that number?

Options:

3100

3200

3000

2800

Correct Answer:

3100

Explanation:

Let number = 100x

According to the question ,

38% of 100x - 22% of 100x= 3200

16x = 3200

100x = 20,000

Now, 

$15\frac{1}{2}\%$  of 20,000 = 20,000 × \(\frac{31}{200}\) = 3100
