Question

If $0.03$ percent of n is $3$, what is $3$ percent of $n$?

• A. $900$
• B. $600$
• C. $300$``
• D. $0.006$
• E. $0.003$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $300$``

Given, $0.03$ percent of ${}^{\prime }{n}^{\prime }$ is $3$.

Formally, we can express this as

$0.03$$\%$ $\left(n\right)$ $=$ $3$

$\Rightarrow \frac{0.03}{100}$ $\times$ $n$ $=$ $3$

$\Rightarrow n$ $=$ $\frac{3\times 100}{0.03}$

$\Rightarrow n$ $=$ $10,000$

To find $3$ percent of $n$,

$\Rightarrow 3\%$$\left(n\right)$ $=$ $\frac{3}{100}$ $\times$ $n$

$=$ $\frac{3}{100}$ $\times$ $10,000$

$=$ $\frac{30,000}{100}$

$=$ $300$

Therefore, $3$ percent of $n$ is $300$.
