    1 ~

    5% of 120 =

    5/100 • 120/1 = 600/100 = 6

    2 ~

    60 is 150% of what number =

    60/1

    -------------

    150/100

    =

    60/1 • 100/150 = 6,000/150 = 40

    3 ~

    0.5% of 240 =

    5/1,000 • 240/1 = 1,200/1,000 = 1.2

    1) 5% of 120=5/100 *120=5*120/100=600/100=6

    2)if % is 150,then original number is 100.

    required number= 100/150 *60=6000/150=40

    3).5 % of 240= .5/100 *240=5/1000 *240=1200/1000=1.2

    1) 5×120÷100 = 6.

    2) 60÷1.5 = 40.

    3) 0.5×240÷100 = 1.2.

  • 1 decade ago

    1. (5/100) * 120 = 6

    2. 60 = x * (150/100) -> x = 40

    3. (0/5/100) * 240 = 1.2

    1) 5x120=600 now divide 600 by 100 and = 6 the answer is 6 now subtract 120-6=114

    2) 2.5x 60= 150 i hope i gave u the rite answer!!

    3) .5x240=120 now divide by 100 = 12 the answer is 12 now subtract 240-12= 228

    1) 120 *.05 = 6

    2) 60/150 = x/100

    150x = 6000

    x = 40

    3) 240 *.005 = 1.2

    1) 5% = 0.05

    0.05 * 120 = 6

    2)60%=0.6

    0.6*150=90

    3)0.5% of 240 = 1.2

  • 1 decade ago

    multiply .005 by 120 to get 6. 150% = 1.5 so divid 60 by 1.5 to get 40. and .5% = 0.005. so multiply 240 and .005 = 1.2

    1.)......5% = .05 ........0.05 times 120 = 6

    2.)....60 divided 1.50 = 4

    3.).....0.005 times 240 = 1.2
