Algebra Difficulty 1.1 Junior Find the answer Canada

30% of 200 equals

(A) $0.06$ (B) $0.6$ (C) $6$ (D) $60$ (E) $600$

Your answer

A number or a short expression. Fractions can be typed as 3/2, and spacing doesn't matter.

Solution

30% of 200 equals $\frac{30}{100} \times 200 = 60$ .

Alternatively, we could note that 30% of 100 is 30 and $200 = 2\times 100$ , so 30% of 200 is $30 \times 2$ which equals 60.
