If 49% of a number is 56 what was the original numeber

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%

Step-by-step explanation:

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
