Question

12% of 250 litres is the same as ____ of 150 litres

Answer 1

12% of 250 liters is the same as 20% of 150 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

$12\% of 250 = \frac{12}{100}\times 250 </p><p>[tex]x\% of 150 = \frac{x}{100}\times 150$

∴ $\frac{12}{100}\times 250 = \frac{x}{100}\times 150\\0.12\times250 = 1.5\times x\\x = \frac{0.12\times250}{1.5}\\x = \frac{30}{1.5}\\x = 20$

∴ x = 20

Hence 12% of 250 liters is the same as 20% of 150 liters.

Answer 2

12% of 250 litres is the same as 20% of 150 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the percent be x

Given  12% of 250 liter  = x% of 150 litres

$\dfrac{12}{100}\times250=\dfrac{\textrm{x}}{100}\times 150$

$\Rightarrow 12\times25=15\textrm{x}$

$\Rightarrow \textrm{x}=\dfrac{12\times25}{15}$

$\Rightarrow \textrm{x}=\dfrac{300}{15}$

$\Rightarrow \textrm{x}=20$%

so 12% of 250 litres is the same as 20% of 150 litres
