Question

(x% of 60 is 3.006, 10% of 111 is y)

Answer 1

x = 5.01%

y = 11.1

Explanation:

`(percent)/(base) = (rate)/(100)`

Model:

50% of 120 is 60

Rate (%) = 50

Base (of) = 120

Percent (is, part) = 60

Thus, x in the first problem is the rate.

`(3.006)/(60) =(x)/(100)`. Cross multiply, and we get:

x = 5.01

To check, multiply 5.01% × 60 = 3.006

For the second problem, multiply 10% with 111 to get the percent, which is 11.1
