Divide 15015by 15
The answer is 1001.
A boy lost 55% of his pocket money. If he had 671/2k left how much was his pocket money
Let 'x' be the boy's original pocket money.
According to the problem, the boy lost 55% of his pocket money, which means he spent 55% of his money and had only 45% of his money left.
So, 45% of x equals to 67.5k:
45% of x = 67.5k
Converting percentage to decimal:
0.45x = 67.5k
Dividing both sides by 0.45:
x = (67.5k) / 0.45
x = 150k
Therefore, the boy's original pocket money was 150k.
To divide 15015 by 15, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by dividing the first digit of the dividend, which is 1, by the divisor, which is 15. In this case, 1 ÷ 15 = 0.06. Write down the quotient, which is 0, above the line.
