Question

Express the first quantity as a percent of the second :
$500gm,6kg$

Answer 1

Step : Expressing the first quantity as a percent of the second

Given,
$500gm,6kg$.
We know that, $1kg=1000gm$
So, $6kg=6000gm$
$\therefore 500gm$ as a percent of $6kg=500gm$ as a percent of $6000gm$
$=\frac{500}{6000}\times 100\%$

$=\frac{500}{60}$

$=\frac{25}{3}$

$=8\frac{1}{3}\%$

Hence, $500gm$ is $8\frac{1}{3}\%$ of $6kg$.
