Question

estimate the following 21% of 5900.

​

Answer 1

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the required number.

             Given data:- $21\%$ of $5900.$

             To find:- Value of given expression.

             Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.  

• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.

• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.

• Percentages are reversible.

      Therefore,

          $\\ 21\% \ of\ 5900.\\\frac{21}{100} \times5900\\=0.21\times5900\\=1239.$

     Hence we will get the $21\%$ of $5900$ is $1239.$

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the required number.

       Given data:- $21\%\ of\ 5900.$

       Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.
• It is denoted by $\%.$
• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.
• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.
• Percentages are reversible. For example, $30 \% of 40$ is the same as $40 \% of 30 .$

     According to the question,

     $=\frac{21}{100}\times5900\\=21\times59\\=1239.$

  Hence, the value will be $1239.$
