Question

30% of a sum of money is 300. What is the amount?
One and half times a number is 150. What is the number?​

Answer 1

30% of a particular sum of money = 300

Let the sum of money be x.

= 30% of x = 300

$= \frac{30}{100}x = 300$

$= x = \frac{300 \times 100}{30}$

= x = 1000

Henceforth, the sum of money is Rupees 1000.

________________________

Let the number be x.

So, 1/2 of x = 150

$= \frac{1}{2}x = 150$

$= x = 300$

Therefore, the number is 300.
