0.5 % of 36 , which means,
100 % refers to 36, then
0.5 % refers to what, thus, by cross multiplication we get,
0.5 % of 36 = = 0.18 ___(1), which can be expressed in whole numbers as 0.
Now, 30 % of 10 means,
100 % refers to 10, then
30 % refers to what, thus, by cross multiplication we get,
30 % of 10 = = 3 __(2)
From equations (1) and (2),
