Answer 1

Given:

b. 113% of $55

To find:

The correct values for the given blanks.

Solution:

a. 35% of 150 g

Here, the percent part is 35% and percent whole is 100%.

35% of 150 g is:

$\dfrac{35}{100}\times 150=52.5$

So, the number part is 52.5 g and the whole number is 150 g.

Therefore, the percent part is 35%, number part is 52.5 g and the whole number is 150 g.

b. 113% of $55 g

Here, the percent part is 113% and percent whole is 100%.

113% of $55 is:

$\dfrac{113}{100}\times 55=62.15$

So, the number part is $62.15 and the whole number is $55.

Therefore, the percent part is 113%, number part is $62.15 and the whole number is $55.
