Answer 1

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Of means multiply

150% * 60

Change the percent to decimal form

1.50 * 60

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Huge{\underline{\boxed{\huge\color{red}\bf \: 90}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\underline{ \bf \: Given \: Arithmetic \: expression:}$

$\sf \: 150 \% \: of \: 60$

$\underline{\bf \: Solution:-}$

Percent is a ratio whose second term is 100.

In words , 150% will be represented as 150 out of 100.

$\sf \longmapsto150 \% \: of \: 60$

Remove the percentage sign and divide 150 by 100:-

$\sf \longmapsto \dfrac{150}{100} \: of \: 60$

We know that of in percentage means Multiplication.So remove of(Multiplication)in this arithmetic expression and insert "×" :

$\sf \longmapsto \cfrac{150}{100} \times 60$

Use cancellation method and cancel a 0 of 100 and a 0 of 150, which is:

$\sf \longmapsto \dfrac{15 \cancel0}{10 \cancel0} \times 60$

Results to:

$\sf \longmapsto \cfrac{15}{10} \times 60$

Now cancel another 0 of 10 and a 0 of 60:

$\sf \longmapsto \: \cfrac{15}{ 1\cancel0} \times 6 \cancel0$

Results to:

$\sf \longmapsto \: \cfrac{15}{1} \times 6$

As 1 is in the denominator , so here 1 has no value.

$\sf \longmapsto15 \times 6$

Simply multiply:-

$\sf \longmapsto90$

So, the answer of the given arithmetic expression is 90.
