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 $400=60$
$\Rightarrow\left(400 \times \frac{x}{100}\right)=60$
$\Rightarrow \frac{400 x}{100}=60$
$\Rightarrow 4 x=60$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{60}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x=15$
