Answer:

Let the whole quantity be x.

Now it is given that 5% of the whole quantity is 600.

So construct the linear equation according to this information.

Therefore 5% of x = 600

⇒5100×x=600⇒5100×x=600

Now simplify the above equation we have,

⇒x=600×5/100 =600×20=12000⇒x=600×5/100 =600×20=12000.

So the whole quantity is 12000.

So this is the required answer.
