Question

What is 0.9% of 1000?

Answer 1

Hint: For solving this type of question you should know about calculating the percentage of something. And also know how to calculate any value which percentage is given to us. And it is calculated by a formula which is used to convert the percentage from any value. The general formula is –
Percentage (%) \[=\dfrac{Value}{TotalValue}\times 100\]

Complete step by step answer:
Thus, we can calculate the percentage of any numbers and the number and the value of that by a single formula.
The percentage is the amount of something in terms of 100. And we can say that the percent means per hundred. It means what the value or amount is at every hundred\[^{th}\].
Value of a number which is the 0.9% of 1000.
So, according to our question we have to calculate the number of 0.9% of 1000.
It means the number will be less than 1000 and it will be 0.9% of 1000.
So, for calculating the number we can write the 0.9% as the \[\dfrac{0.9}{100}\]. When dealing with percent the word ‘of’ means “times” or “to multiply”.
Finally, calculate the number ‘n’.
\[\begin{align}
  & n=\dfrac{0.9}{100}\times 1000 \\
 & n=0.9\times 10 \\
 & n=9 \\
\end{align}\]

Thus, the 0.9% of 1000 is equal to 9.

Note: During solving this type of questions you should know about how the variable and integer values subtract, add and divide or multiply to each other. Because in the big question the equations are of higher order and if you solve them then you have to use these methods for solving the values of all the variables.
