Answer:

1.5% of 4000 = 60, x = 4000

Explanation:

Forming the equation,

→ 1.5% of x = 60

→ 1.5% × x = 60

Now the value of x will be,

→ 1.5% × x = 60

→ (1.5/100)x = 60

→ 1.5x = 60 × 100

→ x = 6000/1.5

→ [ x = 4000 ]

Hence, value of x is 4000.

Answer:

x = 4000

Explanation:

Given that,

1.5% of x = 60

That is,

1.5% × x = 60

We can write the above expression again as :


\sf(1.5)/(100)*x=60

So, to find the value of x, we have to make x the subject.

For that, first, multiply both sides by 100.

1.5x = 60 × 100

1.5x = 6000

Now, divide both sides by 1.5.

x = 4000
