Answer: Let's use "x" to represent the unknown quantity in grams:

We have:

3/10 x = 25% of 120g

Converting 25% to a fraction:

3/10 x = 25/100 * 120g

Simplifying 25/100:

3/10 x = 0.25 * 120g

Multiplying 0.25 by 120g:

3/10 x = 30g

To solve for "x", we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/10:

x = (10/3) * 30g

Simplifying:

x = 100g

Therefore, 3/10 of 100g is equal to 25% of 120g.

Answer:

3/10 of 100g = 25% of 120g

Explanation:

Let us assume that,

→ Missing quantity = x

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

Forming the equation,

→ 3/10 of x = 25% of 120

Then the value of x will be,

→ 3/10 of x = 25% of 120

→ (3/10) × x = (25/100) × 120

→ 3x/10 = 25 × 1.2

→ 3x/10 = 30

→ 3x = 30 × 10

→ 3x = 300

→ x = 300/3

→ [ x = 100 ]

Hence, the value of x is 100.
