• In an elementary school, 30% of the 250
Grade Six pupils walk to school. How many
Grade Six pupils walk to school?
30% of 250 = N
.30 x 250 = N
• In an elementary school, 30% of the 250
Grade Six pupils walk to school. How many
Grade Six pupils walk to school?
30% of 250 = N
Proceed to
.30 x 250 = N multiplication
75 = N or N=75
THUS:
30% of 250 = 75
1. 2% of 30 is 0.6 30 2% 0.6
2. 12 is 50% of 24 24 50% 12
3. 15% of 100 = 15 100 15% 15
4. 6% of 900 is 54 900 6% 54
5. 90% of 50 = 45
50 90% 45
6. 15 is 60% of 25 25 60% 15
