Question

Find the whole quantity if 12% of it is Rs 960

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Let}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{whole}\mathrm{quantity}=\mathrm{Rs}\mathrm{x} \\ \mathrm{Now},12\%\mathrm{of}\mathrm{x}=960 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{12}{100}\times \mathrm{x}=960 \\ \Rightarrow 12\mathrm{x}=96000 \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{96000}{12}=8000 \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{whole}\mathrm{quantity}=\mathrm{Rs}8000 \end{gathered}$$
