PercentageEasy
If 50% of a number is 600, what is 35% of the same number?
- (A)480
- (B)600
- (C)360
- (D)420
Correct answer: (D) 420
50% of the number is 600, so the number is 600 × 100 ÷ 50 = 1200. Now 35% of 1200 = 1200 × 35 ÷ 100 = 420. Hence the required value is 420.
Shortcut: Scale directly: 600 × 35/50 = 420.
