Question

If 6% of x is the same as 5% of 120, then what is x?

Answer 1

X equals 100, 0.05×120=6 and 0.06×100=6

Answer 2

x = 100

Explanation:

6% of x = 5% of 120

First we calculate 5% of 120

= 5% × 120

=
`(5)/(100)* 120`

= 0.05 × 120

= 6

Now we will find the value of x

6%x = 6

0.06x = 6

x =
`(6)/(0.06)`

x = 100
