Question

10) What is 150% of 60?

Answer 1

`\Huge{\underline{\boxed{\huge\color{red}\bf \: 90}}}`

Explanation:

`\underline{ \bf \: Given \: Arithmetic \: expression:}`

`\sf \: 150 \% \: of \: 60`

`\underline{\bf \: Solution:-}`

Percent is a ratio whose second term is 100.

In words , 150% will be represented as 150 out of 100.

`\sf \longmapsto150 \% \: of \: 60`

Remove the percentage sign and divide 150 by 100:-

`\sf \longmapsto (150)/(100) \: of \: 60`

We know that of in percentage means Multiplication.So remove of(Multiplication)in this arithmetic expression and insert "×" :

`\sf \longmapsto \cfrac{150}{100} * 60`

Use cancellation method and cancel a 0 of 100 and a 0 of 150, which is:

`\sf \longmapsto (15 \cancel0)/(10 \cancel0) * 60`

Results to:

`\sf \longmapsto \cfrac{15}{10} * 60`

Now cancel another 0 of 10 and a 0 of 60:

`\sf \longmapsto \: \cfrac{15}{ 1\cancel0} * 6 \cancel0`

Results to:

`\sf \longmapsto \: \cfrac{15}{1} * 6`

As 1 is in the denominator , so here 1 has no value.

`\sf \longmapsto15 * 6`

Simply multiply:-

`\sf \longmapsto90`

So, the answer of the given arithmetic expression is 90.

`\rule{175pt}{2pt}`

I hope this helps!

Please let me know if you have any questions.
