Chapter SR3, Problem 18P

Solution

The number whose $10\%\text{ is 6}$ .

  $60$

Given:

  $10\%\text{ is 6}$

Concept Used:

To find the number whose p % is equal to x , divide the number x by the fractions $\frac{p}{100}$ .

Calculation:

In order to find the number whose $10\%\text{ is 6}$ , divide the given number by the fractional form of the percent and simplify further as shown below

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Required number}=\frac{6}{10\%}\\ =\frac{6}{\frac{10}{100}}\\ =6\times \frac{100}{10}\\ =\frac{600}{10}\\ =60\end{array}$

Thus, the required number is $60$ .
