44% of 80% of a number is 6864. What will be 15% of that number?

The correct answer is Option (3) → 2925

“44% of 80% of a number” means the two percentages are applied one after the other, so the number is found first and 15% of it is taken next.

• 44% of 80% \(=0.44\times0.80=0.352\) of the number

• The number \(=6864\div0.352=19500\)

• 15% of 19500 \(=0.15\times19500=2925\)
