Answer 1

Answer:

15 percent of 34 means if 34 becomes 100, what would 15 become?

Look at it this way: if you get ₹15 interest on every ₹34 you save, how much interest will you get when you save ₹100 ?

Or

You can look at it this way: if you get 15 marks out of 34 on your test, how much would you have got if the test were of 100 marks?

How would you calculate it?

Let us consider the first example. For ₹34, you get ₹15. So for ₹100, how much?

For ₹34 ----- ₹15

₹100 ----- (?)

Now multiply the numbers in each row and equate them.

So 15*34 = 100 *x

Now solve it like any ordinary equation.

So x = (15*34)/100

x = ₹5.1

So you would get ₹5.1 on ₹100 savings.

A simpler way would be to multiply the two numbers and divide the result by 100.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

x-15%x = 34

=> x - (15/100)x = 34

=> 85x/100 = 34

=> 85x = 3400

So, x = 3400/85

∴ x = 40
