Question

Find the value of each of the following:

$33\frac{1}{3}\%$ of $1200$ kg.

Answer 1

Given: $33\frac{1}{3}\%$ of $1200$ kg.

Since, $\%=\frac{1}{100}$.

Now,

$33\frac{1}{3}\%$ of $1200$ kg $=1200\times 33\frac{1}{3}\%$

$$\begin{gathered} =1200\times \frac{100}{3}\% \\ =1200\times \frac{100}{3}\times \frac{1}{100} \\ =1200\times \frac{1}{3} \\ =\frac{1200}{3} \\ =400 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $33\frac{1}{3}\%$ of $1200$ kg$=400$kg.
