PercentageEasy
If 50% of a number is 650, what is 60% of the same number?
- (A)650
- (B)845
- (C)390
- (D)780
Correct answer: (D) 780
50% of the number is 650, so the number is 650 × 100 ÷ 50 = 1300. Now 60% of 1300 = 1300 × 60 ÷ 100 = 780. Hence the required value is 780.
Shortcut: Scale directly: 650 × 60/50 = 780.
