Respuesta :

let x be the value
x=100%
50=20%
multiply both sides by 5
50*5=20%*5
250=100%
therefore, x=250

Answer:

The correct answer is 250.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine what is the total value of an operation in which the value 50 will mean its 20%, what we must do is simply multiply the value by 100, and divide it by the percentage:

(50,100): 20 =

5000: 20 =

250

In this way we verify that the total value was 250.

If you had any questions, we can calculate the% 20 of 250, to see if the result is 50:

250 0.20 = 50.

Thus we verify that the calculation was correct.
