Question

find 8% of what is 24?

Answer 1

let the no. be x.
$\frac{8}{100} \times x = 24$
$x = \frac{24 \times 100}{8}$
$x = 300$
hence , 8% of 300 is 24.

Answer 2

when we have no no we should take no. to be x
we should change •/• into simple no.
so we divided by 100
8/100 × x = 24
we prove = 24/8 × 100/8
x= 300
so we prove that 8•/• of 300 is 24
