Question

George uses the diagram below to help determine 30% of 60. Which expression could George have used?

Answer 1

60 *(30/100) works too

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{3}{10}\times 60\text{ or }\frac{30}{100}\times 60$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression,

30% of 60,

We know that,

Convert percentage to fraction :

$a\% =\frac{a}{100}$

Thus,

$30\% = \frac{30}{100}=\frac{3}{10}$

So, 30% of 60 = $\frac{3}{10}\times 60$

Which is the required expression.
