Question

Sumit has 50 books, out of which 30% are English books. How many books are English books?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of English books is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sumit has 50 books and 30% of them are English books. So, we need to find what is 30% of the number 50. This is the same as saying when 50 is divided into 100 parts, 30 parts will be English books.

Thus, we have

The number of English books =$\dfrac{30}{100}\times 50 =3\times 5=15$  .

So Sumit has 15 English books with him.

Answer 2

Answer:

$= \frac{30}{100} \times 50 \\ = 3 \times 5 = 15$
