Answer 2

Concept

When a fraction of a whole is represented as a number between 0 and 100, it is called a percentage.

Given:

150 % of a number is 120.

To Find:

The 60% of the number whose 150% is 120.

Solution:

Let us assume that the required number is 'x'.

150% of the required number is given to be 120. Writing this statement in terms of equation, we have:

150% of x = 120

(150/100) × x = 120

(15/10) × x = 120

15x = 1200

x = 80.

Hence the required number is 80.

Now, we are asked to calculate 60% of this number.

60% of 80 = (60/100) × 80 = 48.

60% of a number whose 150% is 120 = 48.

Hence the correct answer is 48
