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.
