∴ 20% of 100 = 20

Now,

∵ 20 is the 20% of 100

∴ 1 will be the 20% of

∴ 20 will be 20% of 5 × 20 = 100

Thus, required number = 100 Answer

Question: (2) 2% of ? = 45

Solution:

We have to find 2% of ? = 45

Shortcut Method

We have to find 2% of ? = 45

We know that, if x% of y = m

Therefore,

Here in the given question, x=2, and m = 45 thus y=?

Therefore,

⇒ y = 45 × 50

Therefore, y = 2250 Answer

Alternate Method: Unitary Method

We have to find 2% of ? = 45

Let, ? = 100

∴ 2% of 100 = 2

Now,

∵ 2 is the 2% of 100

∴ 1 will be the 2% of

∴ 45 will be 2% of 50 × 45 = 2250

Thus, required number = 2250 Answer

Question: (3) 5% of ? = 200

Or, 5% of what is equal to 200?

Solution:

We have to find 5% of ? = 200

Shortcut Method to find the missing number in given expression of percent

We have to find 5% of ? = 200

We know that, if x% of y = m

Therefore,

Here in the given question, x=5, and m = 200 thus y=?

Therefore,

⇒ y = 200 × 20

Therefore, y = 4000 Answer

Alternate Method: Unitary Method

We have to find 5% of ? = 200

Let, ? = 100

∴ 5% of 100 = 5

Now,

∵ 5 is the 5% of 100

∴ 1 will be the 5% of

∴ 200 will be 5% of 20 × 200 = 4000

Thus, required number = 4000 Answer

Question: (4) 13% of ? = 39

Or, 13% of what number is equal to 39 ?

Solution:

We have to find 13% of ? = 39

Shortcut Method to find the missing number in given expression of percent

We have to find 13% of ? = 39

We know that, if x% of y = m

Therefore,

Here in the given question, x=13, and m = 39 thus y=?

Therefore,

⇒ y = 3 × 100

Therefore, y = 300 Answer

Alternate Method: Unitary Method

We have to find 13% of ? = 39

Let, ? = 100

∴ 13% of 100 = 13

Now,

∵ 13 is the 13% of 100

∴ 1 will be the 13% of

∴ 39 will be 13% of

= 100 × 3 = 300

Thus, required number = 300 Answer
