44% of a number is 2288. What will be 87% of the number?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 4524
From the given percentage, find 1% of the number first, then scale it up to 87%; the number itself is not needed.
44% of the number is 2288, so 1% of it \(=2288\div44=52\)
87% of the number is 87 times that: \(87\times52=4524\)
