Question

Express:

$250$ g as a percentage of $5$ kg

Answer 1

Expressing $250$ g as a percentage of $5$ kg :

We have to find the percentage of $250$ g out of $5$ kg.

So first, we have to convert $5$ kg into g,

$5kg=5\times 1000g=5000g$ [ $1kg=1000g$]

To convert the following into a percentage, we have to multiply it by $100$, and put $\%$ sign,

$\frac{250}{5000}\times 100\%=\frac{250}{50}\%=5\%$

Hence, $5\%$ of $5$ kg is $250$
