Question 5 (a)
Find the whole quantity if
a) $5\%$ of it is $600$

Answer 1

a)
Let the unknow quantity be $x$
Given condition is $5\%$ of $x$ is $600$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{100}\times x=600$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{20}\times x=600$
$\Rightarrow x=600\times 20$
$\therefore x=12000$
Hence, the value of the unknow quantity is $12000$
