Question

11. What will be 60% of a number whose 150% is 120?​

Answer 1

$\huge{ \underline{ \boxed{ \purple{ \rm{required \: answer}}}}}$

Let the number be "x"

$\sf{150 \times x = 120}$

$\sf{x = 120 \div 150}$

$\sf{ = \frac{4}{5}}$

Now, we have to find 60% of this number.

$\large \dashrightarrow \rm{60\% \: of \: \frac{4}{5}}$

$\large \dashrightarrow \rm{60 \times \frac{4}{5}}$

$\large \rm \dashrightarrow{12 \times 4 }$

$\large{ \underline{ \boxed{ \bf{ \red{ = 60\%}}}}} \star$
