Answer 1

Given:

If 12% of 80% of 50% of a number is 1944

Calculation:

Let the number be x.

Then, 12% of 80% of 50% of x = 1944

12% of 80% of 50% of x = 1944

(12 / 100) × (80 / 100) × (50 / 100) × x = 1944

12 × 80 × 50 × x / (100 × 100 × 100) = 1944

48000x / 1000000 = 1944

48x / 1000 = 1944

48x = 1944 × 1000

48x = 1944000

x = 1944000 / 48

x = 40500

The number is 40500.
