Question:

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

Options:

2288

2882

2925

2952

Correct Answer:

2925

Explanation:

44% of 80% of a number is 6864

Let the number is = N

 \(\frac{44}{100}\) × \(\frac{80}{100}\) × N = 6864

 \(\frac{11}{25}\) × \(\frac{4}{5}\) × N = 6864

N = 6864  × \(\frac{25}{11}\) × \(\frac{5}{4}\)

= 19,500

Now, 15% of 19,500

= \(\frac{15}{100}\) × 19,500

= \(\frac{3}{20}\) × 19,500 

= 2,925
