Answer 1

let the number be x

5/100 of x=600

or, x=(600*100)/5

=12000

Answer 2

Solution :

Let whole quantity = x

According to the problem

given,

5% of x = 600

=> 5% * x = 600

=> ( 5/100 * x ) = 600

=> x = ( 600 × 100 )/5

=> x = 120 × 100

=> x = 12000

Therefore ,

whole quantity = x = 12000
