The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and perform the necessary calculations. ### Step 1: Define the variable Let the original number be \( x \). ### Step 2: Express the percentages and fractions According to the problem, \( 427.27\% \) of \( x \) can be expressed as: \[ 427.27\% = \frac{427.27}{100} \times x = 4.2727x \] Additionally, one-third of \( x \) is: \[ \frac{1}{3}x \] ### Step 3: Set up the equation The problem states that when \( 427.27\% \) of \( x \) is added to one-third of \( x \), the result is \( 12920 \). Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ 4.2727x + \frac{1}{3}x = 12920 \] ### Step 4: Find a common denominator To combine the terms on the left side, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of \( 1 \) and \( 3 \) is \( 3 \). Thus, we rewrite \( 4.2727x \) as: \[ 4.2727x = \frac{4.2727 \times 3}{3}x = \frac{12.8181}{3}x \] Now, we can rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{12.8181}{3}x + \frac{1}{3}x = 12920 \] ### Step 5: Combine the fractions Combining the fractions gives: \[ \frac{12.8181 + 1}{3}x = 12920 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{13.8181}{3}x = 12920 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \) To isolate \( x \), multiply both sides by \( 3 \): \[ 13.8181x = 12920 \times 3 \] Calculating the right side: \[ 13.8181x = 38760 \] Now, divide both sides by \( 13.8181 \): \[ x = \frac{38760}{13.8181} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x \approx 2800 \] ### Step 7: Find 20% of \( x \) To find \( 20\% \) of \( x \): \[ 20\% \text{ of } x = \frac{20}{100} \times x = \frac{20}{100} \times 2800 \] Calculating this gives: \[ 20\% \text{ of } x = 560 \] ### Final Answer Thus, \( 20\% \) of the original number is \( \boxed{560} \). ---
