Example Question #895 : Numbers And Operations

What is $17 \frac{1}{2} \%$ of $17 \frac{1}{2}$ ?

Possible Answers:

100

$30 \frac{5}{8}$

$306 \frac{1}{4}$

$3\frac{1}{16}$

Correct answer:

$3\frac{1}{16}$

Explanation:

$17 \frac{1}{2} \%$ of $17 \frac{1}{2}$ can be rewritten as

$\frac{17 \frac{1}{2} }{100} \times 17 \frac{1}{2}$

$= \frac{35}{2} \times \frac{1}{100} \times \frac{35}{2}$

$= \frac{35 \times 1 \times 35}{2 \times 100 \times 2}$

$= \frac{1,225}{400} = \frac{1,225 \div 25}{400\div 25} = \frac{49}{16} = 3 \frac{1}{16}$

Example Question #47 : How To Find The Part From The Whole With Percentage

What is $30\%$ of 150 ?

Possible Answers:

120

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a percentage of a whole, we will first write the percentage as a fraction. We know that all percentages can be written as a number over 100. So,

$30\% = \frac{30}{100}$

Now, we will multiply the fraction by the whole number. We get

$\frac{30}{100} \cdot 150$

Now, we can simplify/multiply.

We write 150 as a fraction over 1.

$\frac{30}{100} \cdot \frac{150}{1}$

We can cancel out the zero in 150 and the zero in 100.

$\frac{30}{10} \cdot \frac{15}{1}$

We can cancel out the zero in 30 and the zero in 10.

$\frac{3}{1} \cdot \frac{15}{1}$

Now, we can multiply.

$\frac{3 \cdot 15}{1 \cdot 1}$

$\frac{45}{1}$

Therefore, $30\%$ of 150 is .

Example Question #234 : Percentage

What is $30\%$ of 270 ?

Possible Answers:

100

240

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find a percentage of a whole, we will multiply the percentage by the whole number. So,

$30\%$ of 270

can be written as

$30\% \cdot 270$

We know that a percentage can be written as a fraction over 100. So,

$\frac{30}{100} \cdot 270$

Now, we can solve.

$\frac{30}{100} \cdot \frac{270}{1}$

We can cancel out the zero in 30 and the zero in 100.

$\frac{3}{10} \cdot \frac{270}{1}$

We can cancel out the zero in 10 and the zero in 270.

$\frac{3}{1} \cdot \frac{27}{1}$

Now, we multiply.

$\frac{3 \cdot 27}{1 \cdot 1}$

$\frac{81}{1}$

Therefore, $30\%$ of 270 is .
