Answer:

360

Step-by-step explanation:

20%x =72 or 20/100x =72

multiply both sides by 100 and divide both sides by 20 then you have x= 72 × 100/20

= 360

hope this helps!!

  • Let the number be x.
  • Therefore, by the problem
  • [tex]20\% \: \: of \: \: x \: = 72 \\ = > \frac{20}{100} \times x = 72 \\ = > \frac{x}{5} = 72 \\ = > x = 72 \times 5 \\ = > x = 360[/tex]

Answer:

The number is 360.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
