Question

3) Find the value of y in each of the following: (a) 12% of y = 600 ​

Answer 1

Answer :

• Value of y is 5000

Given :

• 12% of y = 600

To find :

• Value of y

Solution :

↦ 12 % of y = 600

↦ 12/100 × y = 600

↦ y = 600 × 100 / 12

↦ y = 60000/12

↦ y = 5000

Hence,

Value of y is 5000.

Verification :

↦ 12% of y = 600

↦12/100 × 5000 = 600

↦ 12 × 50 = 600

↦ 600 = 600

Hence, Verified

Answer 2

Here we are given that 12 % of y is equal to600

We have to find the value of y

To replace the percentage sign, we have to divide the number by 100

So, 12% of y = 600

    (12/100) × y = 600

              0.12y = 600

                     y = 600/0.12

                    y = 5000

Hence, 12% of 5000 will be equal to 600
