Question

If 50% of a number is 6o, find 5% of that number.

Answer 1

60+60=120
-
6\120 = 0.05
-
0.05*100= 5
-
The answer is 6

Answer 2

We have, 50% × x = 60

or,

50

100

× x = 60

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 50,

we have x = 60 ×

100

50

x = 120

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 60×100÷50, which will give you the answer.
