Question

What is 130% of 152

Answer 1

Hint: Use the percentage as the given number divided by 100. Need to use the decimal notation representation. Cancelling should be done in the same table. The percentage represents a number as a fraction of part of a whole number.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Given the number as 152
We need to find 130 % of it
Generally what we do is whatever the percentage is asked we take as a fraction form
That is 130 % we write as \[\dfrac{{130}}{{100}}\]
\[\dfrac{{130}}{{100}}\] of 152 means = \[\dfrac{{130}}{{100}}\] x 152 ( in math of means multiplication)
 = \[\dfrac{{13}}{{10}}\] x 152 ( we cancel zero of units place both in numerator and denominator )
= \[\dfrac{{13}}{5}\] x 76 ( cancel 152 and 10 in 2 table we get 76 and 5)
= 13 x 15.2 ( cancel 76 in 5 table we get 15.2 )
= 197.6 ( multiply 13 and 15.2)
So 130% of 152 will be 197.6

Note: in this answer you are observing that the answer is more than the question asked. It is because the percentage asked here is more than 100 %
Putting points at the right decimal places is mandatory.
Cancelling both numerator and denominator in the same table is needed
Additional information: we can do this in another way also
As it is asked 130 %
First we take 100 % and then 30 %
Add both
The same answer you will get.
100 % of 152 is 152
30 % of 152 is \[\dfrac{{30}}{{100}}\] x 152
= \[\dfrac{3}{{10}}\] x 152
= 3 x 15.2
= 45.6
Adding 152 and 45.6
152 + 45.6 = 197 .6 you can opt any method of your convenience
