Question

Jaya weighs 35 kg. Her brother weighs 20% more than her. What is the
weight of her brother?​

Answer 1

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaya weighs=35 kg

Her brother= 20 % more than Jaya

= 35/100 × 20

We get = 7

So Her brother weighs = Sister's weight + 7 (which is 20% of Sister's weight)

= 35 + 7

= 42

Hence we get 42

Answer 2

Answer-:

Jaya weights = 35kg

her brother weights =20%more

= 35 × 20/100

(then the zero of 20 is cut by the zero of 100)

= 35 × 2/10

(then 35 is cut by 7 because 7 ×5 = 35

and 10 is cut by 2 because 2× 5 = 10)

= 7 × 2/2

= 7 × 1

= 7kg more

= 35+7

=42kg should be the answer
