Question

If 6% of x is the same as 5% of 120, then what is x?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

6% of x = 5% of 120

First we calculate 5% of 120

= 5% × 120

= $\frac{5}{100}\times 120$

= 0.05 × 120

= 6

Now we will find the value of x

6%x = 6

0.06x = 6

x = $\frac{6}{0.06}$

x = 100

Answer 2

X equals 100, 0.05×120=6 and 0.06×100=6
