Question

Carolyn is using the table to find 360% of 15. What values do X and Y represent in her table?

Answer 1

★  100% of 15 = X

$\implies \mathsf{100\%\;of\;15 = \left(\dfrac{100}{100} \times 15\right) = 15}$

$\implies \mathsf{X = 15}$

★  20% of 15 = Y

$\implies \mathsf{20\%\;of\;15 = \left(\dfrac{20}{100} \times 15\right)}$

$\implies \mathsf{20\%\;of\;15 = 3}$

$\implies \mathsf{Y = 3}$

Answers : X = 15 and Y = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

X = 15, Y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given problem,

360% of 15,

∵ 360% = 100% + 100% + 100% + 20% + 20% + 20%,

⇒ 360% of 15 = (100% + 100% + 100% + 20% + 20% + 20% ) of 15

= 100% of 15 + 100% of 15 + 100% of 15 + 20% of 15 + 20% of 15 + 20% of 15

Also, 100% of 15 = $\frac{100\times 15}{100}$ = 15,

20% of 15 = $\frac{20\times 15}{100}$ = $\frac{300}{100}$ = 3,

Hence, In the table,

100% is equivalent of 15,

20% is equivalent to 3,

That is, X = 15, Y = 3
