Question

If four fifths of a number is 24800, then two fifths of the same number is

• A. 18400
• B. 13400
• C. 12400
• D. 12475

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let the number be \( x \). We are given that: \[ \frac{4}{5} \times x = 24800 \] Solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{24800 \times 5}{4} = 31000 \] Now, we need to find \( \frac{2}{5} \) of \( x \): \[ \frac{2}{5} \times 31000 = 12400 \] To find a fraction of a number, multiply the number by the fraction.
