Answer:
142.85 (rounded off to two decimal places)
Step-by-step explanation:
given
(49/100)x = 56
x = (56/49)100
x = (8/7)(100)
we get
x= 142.85....
1.42%
let y be the unknown number
49% × y = 49y%
49y% = 56
then the co-efficient of 'y' that is 49% will cancel out leaving 'y' and resulting in 56÷49 resulting in 1.42
therefore the original number is 1.42
