Question:

Tick (✓) the correct answer:

?% of 400 = 60

(a) 6

(b) 12

(c) 15

(d) 20

Solution:

(c) 15

Let the required number be $x$. Then, we have:

$x \%$ of $400=60$

$\Rightarrow\left(400 \times \frac{x}{100}\right)=60$

$\Rightarrow \frac{400 x}{100}=60$

$\Rightarrow 4 x=60$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{60}{4}$

$\Rightarrow x=15$
