Answer 1

Step : Expressing the first quantity as a
percent of the second
Given, $500\text{gm},6\text{kg}$.
We know that, $1\text{kg}=1000\text{gm}$
So, $6\text{kg}=6000\text{gm}$
$\therefore 500\text{gm}$ as a percent of $6\text{kg}=500\text{gm}$ as a
percent of $6000\text{gm}$
$=\frac{500}{6000}\times 100\%$
$=\frac{500}{60}$
$=\frac{25}{3}$
$=8\frac{1}{3}\%$
Hence, $500\text{gm is}8\frac{1}{3}\%$of $6\text{kg}$.
