P x (96/100) = 23040
P = 240 * 100
P = 24000.
Correct Answer: 50
Explanation:
Let the required number be 'p'
36 of what number is 18 implies 36% of p = 18
=> 36 x p/100 = 18
=> p = 1800/36
=> p = 50.
Hence, 36% of 50 is 18.
Correct Answer: 0.625%
Explanation:
From the given data,
let the amounts invested be 4p, 5p and 3p
Net profit = Total profit - Total loss
= 10x5p/100 + 25x3p/200 - 20x4p/100
= 0.875p - 0.8p
= 0.075p
Therefore, profit% = (Net profit/Total investment) x 100
= 0.075 x 100/12
= 0.0625%
