Sagot :

We have to find 100% of the number. We can use proportion to get it
3% -----------1.5m
100% -------- x
crossmultiply now
3*x=1.5*100
3x=150      /:3 divide both sides by 3
x=50m

2. Similar situation
40% ------------1000
100% -----------x
crossmultiply
40*x=100*1000
40x=100000      /:40
x=2500 - its the answer
