Question

Write $850gms$ as a percentage of $5kg$

Answer 1

Step 1. Converting $\mathit{k}\mathit{i}\mathit{l}\mathit{o}\mathit{g}\mathit{r}\mathit{a}\mathit{m}\left(kg\right)$ into $\mathit{g}\mathit{r}\mathit{a}\mathit{m}\mathit{s}\left(gms\right)$

We know that $1kg=1000gms$

So $5kg=5\times 1000=5000gms$

Step 2.Calculating percentage

To convert a fraction into percentage,multiply it by $100$

Thus $850gms$ as a percentage of $5kg$$=\frac{850}{5000}\times 100$

$=\frac{85}{5}$

$=17\%$

Hence $850gms$ as a percentage of $5kg$ is $17\%$
