Question

In order to compute 0.15% of a number, it must be multiplied by

• A. 0.0015
• B. 0.015
• C. 0.15
• D. 1.5

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

0.0015

To calculate the percentage value of any number we have to multiply the number by $\frac{\text{percent}}{100}$.

here, in this case, we have to find $0.15\%$ of a number, so we have to multiply the number by $\frac{0.15}{100}=\mathrm{0.0015.}$

Option A is correct.
