Question

Find the whole quantity, if $5\%$ of it is $600$.

Answer 1

Given

$5\%$ of it is $600.$

Therefore,

$5\%$ $\times total=600$

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{100}\times total=600$

$\Rightarrow total=600\times \frac{100}{5}$

$\Rightarrow total=120\times 100$

$\Rightarrow total=12,000$

so, the total is $12,000.$
