Choose all statements that are true?
a 15% of 15 is 1
b 5% of 50 is 10
c 10% of 100 is 10
d 2% of 100 is 5
e 3 % of 200 is 6
I picked a, c and e.
a)
.15 * 15 = 2.25 NOT 1
c) correct
e) corrtect
To determine whether the statements are true, we can calculate the percentages and verify if they match the given values.
Let's analyze each statement:
a) 15% of 15 is 1:
To calculate 15% of 15, you multiply 15 by 15% (or 0.15).
15 * 0.15 = 2.25, which is not equal to 1. Therefore, statement a is incorrect.
b) 5% of 50 is 10:
To calculate 5% of 50, you multiply 50 by 5% (or 0.05).
50 * 0.05 = 2.5, which is not equal to 10. Therefore, statement b is incorrect.
c) 10% of 100 is 10:
To calculate 10% of 100, you multiply 100 by 10% (or 0.1).
100 * 0.1 = 10, which is correct. Therefore, statement c is true.
d) 2% of 100 is 5:
To calculate 2% of 100, you multiply 100 by 2% (or 0.02).
100 * 0.02 = 2, which is not equal to 5. Therefore, statement d is incorrect.
e) 3% of 200 is 6:
To calculate 3% of 200, you multiply 200 by 3% (or 0.03).
200 * 0.03 = 6, which is correct. Therefore, statement e is true.
Based on the calculations, the correct statements are c) 10% of 100 is 10, and e) 3% of 200 is 6.
