Answer 2

Given: $5$%of it is$600$

We have to find the whole quantity.

We are solving in the following way:

Let the whole quantity be$x$.

Now it is given that $5$% of the whole quantity is$600$.

So we are constructing the linear equation according to this information.

Therefore $5\%\ of x = 600$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{100} \times x=600\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{600 \times 100}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow x=600 \times 20\\\Rightarrow x=12000$

Hence, the whole quantity is$12000$.
