Answer 1

$\textsf{\large{\underline{Solution}:}}$

Given That:

$\rm: \longmapsto x \% \: of \: 3500 = 210$

Therefore:

$\rm: \longmapsto \dfrac{x}{100} \times 3500 = 210$

$\rm: \longmapsto 35x= 210$

$\rm: \longmapsto x= \dfrac{210}{35}$

$\rm: \longmapsto x= \dfrac{7 \times 5 \times 6}{7 \times 5}$

$\rm: \longmapsto x= 6$

★ Therefore, the value of x is 6.

Put x = 6, we get:

$\rm = 6 \% \: of \: 3500$

$\rm = \dfrac{6}{100} \times 3500$

$\rm = 35 \times 6$

$\rm = 35 \times 2 \times 3$

$\rm = 70 \times 3$

$\rm = 210$

Hence, our answer is correct. (Verified)
