Question

Ganga went to a tailor with $1$mt. cloth. She asked him to make a blouse to her. The tailor used $0.75$ mts of cloth to make the blouse and returned the remaining cloth to Ganga. What percentage of the cloth is used in making the blouse?

• A. $50$
• B. $75$
• C. $25$
• D. $80$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$75$

total length $=1m$

length used $=0.75m$

$\Rightarrow$ $\%$ of length used $=\frac{lengthused}{totallength}\times 100\%$

$=\frac{0.75}{1}\times 100\%$ $=75\%$
