Question

Sachin and Sanjana are calculating 23% of 800.

Now calculate 52% of 700 using both the ways described above. Which way do you find easier?

Answer 1

First way

52% of 700 = (1% of 700) × 52

= `(1/100 xx 700) xx 52`

= (0.01 × 700) × 52

= 7 × 52

= 364

Second way

52% of 700 = `52/100 xx 700`

= 0.52 × 700

= 364

So, second way, we have to find easier.
