Answer
62% of the number = 806
Explanation
We are told that that the difference between 58% of a number and 39% of the same number is 247.
We are then asked to compute 62% of the number.
Let the number be x.
From the first statement,
58% of x = 0.58 × x = 0.58x
39% of x = 0.39 × x = 0.39x
The difference between them is 247
0.58x - 0.39x = 247
0.19x = 247
Divide both sides by 0.19
(0.19x/0.19) = (247/0.19)
x = 1300
So, we can now calculate 62% of the number
62% of x = 0.62 × x = 0.62 × 1300 = 806
Hope this Helps!!!
