Question

Fill in the blanks to make the statement true: $30\%of₹360=\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$.

Answer 1

Compute the amount:

A percentage is a number that can be expressed as a fraction of $100$.

That is

Percentage$=\frac{portionvalue}{totalvalue}\times 100\%$

By using the above formula

$\begin{array}{rcl}30& =& \frac{x}{360}\times 100\\ \frac{30}{100}& =& \frac{x}{360}\\ \frac{30}{100}\times 360& =& x\\ \frac{3}{1}\times 36& =& x\\ 108& =& x\end{array}$

Hence the required statement is $30\%of₹360=\underline{₹108}$.
