Question

Out of 6 kg. rice, 35% was left. Find the amount of rice consumed.​

Answer 1

35% of 6 kg was left that mean 65% is consumed.

so 65% of 6 kg = 65 × 6 / 100 = 3.9 kg

So 3.9 kg was consumed out of 6 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

Total amount of rice = 6 kg

let the amount of rice consumed = x

amount of rice = 35% of x =

$\frac{35}{100} \times 6$

Total amount of rice is = total amount of rice consumed + total amount of rice left

$6 = x + \frac{35}{100} \times 6$

$x = 6 - \frac{35}{100} \times 6$

$x = 6(1 - \frac{35}{100} )$

$\frac{6 \times (100 - 35)}{100}$

$\frac{6 \times 65}{100}$

$3.9$

the amount of rice consumed in 3.9 kg
