Question:
Mark (✓) against the correct answer:
(?)% of 320 is 48?
(a) 25%
(b) 15%
(c) 14%
(d) 9%
Solution:
(b) 15%
Let the required number be $\mathrm{x}$. Then, we have :
$(x \%$ of 320$)=48$
$\Rightarrow\left(320 \times \frac{x}{100}\right)=48$
$\Rightarrow \frac{320 x}{100}=48$
$\Rightarrow x=\left(48 \times \frac{100}{320}\right)$
$\Rightarrow x=15 \%$
