Question

in an army 6% soldiers were injured and 282 fit soldiers are remaining calculate the number of soldiers injured

Answer 1

18 is the answer.....

Answer 2

18 injured soldiers.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an army, 6% of the soldiers were injured and 282 remaining soldiers are fit.

Now, if in the army 6% of the soldiers were injured then the percentage of the remaining fit soldiers are (100 - 6)% = 94%.

Therefore, 94% of the total number of soldiers is equivalent to 282 fit soldiers.

So, 6% of the total number of soldiers who are injured will be equivalent to $\frac{282 \times 6}{94} = 18$ injured soldiers. (Answer)
