Question

If you are working 30 hours per week, and 3 hours = 10%, what percentage
is 6 hours?

Answer 1

Explanation:

If 3 hours is 10%, we can find the percentage of 6 hours as follows:

10% is equivalent to 3 hours

1% is equivalent to 3 hours ÷ 10 = 0.3 hours

So, 6 hours is equivalent to 6 ÷ 0.3 = 20 times 1%

Therefore, 6 hours is equivalent to 20% (since 20 times 1% is 20%).

Therefore, 6 hours is 20% of the total number of hours you are working per week.

Answer 2

20%

Explanation:

6 hours need to be expressed as a percentage of the total number of hours in a week (i.e. 30 hours):

Percentage =
`(NumberOfHours)/(TotalNumberOfHours)` × 100%

=
`(6)/(30)` × 100%

= 20%
