PercentageEasySSC CGL 2024
If 50% of a number is 500, what is 30% of the same number?
- (A)500
- (B)150
- (C)350
- (D)300
Correct answer: (D) 300
50% of the number is 500, so the number is 500 × 100 ÷ 50 = 1000. Now 30% of 1000 = 1000 × 30 ÷ 100 = 300. Hence the required value is 300.
Shortcut: Scale directly: 500 × 30/50 = 300.
