Answer:
The answer is 90.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
We have been given that 78% of x is 70.2.
Mathematically, we can express this statement as :
[tex]\frac{78}{100}\times x=70.2[/tex]
Now we will solve for x:
[tex]78x=70.2\times100[/tex]
[tex]78x=7020[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{7020}{78}[/tex]
x = 90
Hence, the number is 90.
We can also check that, [tex]0.78\times90=70.2[/tex]
So, we get the answer as 90.
