Question

If 60% is $288, what is 10%?

Answer 1

288 is 60% so you have to divide 288 by 6 so it equals 48

Answer 2

10% is 48

Explanation:

Given : 60% of a number is 288

We have to find 10% of that number

Let the number be x,

then 60 % of x = 288

That is
`(60)/(100)* x= 288`

Simplify for x , we have,

`x=288* (100)/(60)`

Simplify, we have,

x = 480

Thus, 10% of 480 is
`(10)/(100)* 480= 48`

Thus, 10% is 48
