PercentageEasySSC CHSL 2024
If 50% of a number is 700, what is 30% of the same number?
- (A)490
- (B)210
- (C)350
- (D)420
Correct answer: (D) 420
50% of the number is 700, so the number is 700 × 100 ÷ 50 = 1400. Now 30% of 1400 = 1400 × 30 ÷ 100 = 420. Hence the required value is 420.
Shortcut: Scale directly: 700 × 30/50 = 420.
