The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution **Part a: Find 15% of Rs 250** 1. **Understand the percentage**: We need to find 15% of Rs 250. 2. **Convert percentage to decimal**: - 15% can be written as \( \frac{15}{100} \). 3. **Calculate 15% of Rs 250**: - To find 15%, we multiply Rs 250 by \( \frac{15}{100} \): \[ 15\% \text{ of } 250 = 250 \times \frac{15}{100} \] 4. **Simplify the calculation**: - First, calculate \( \frac{250}{100} \): \[ \frac{250}{100} = 2.5 \] - Now multiply by 15: \[ 15 \times 2.5 = 37.5 \] 5. **Conclusion for part a**: - Therefore, 15% of Rs 250 is Rs 37.5. --- **Part b: Find 18% of 900 km** 1. **Understand the percentage**: We need to find 18% of 900 km. 2. **Convert percentage to decimal**: - 18% can be written as \( \frac{18}{100} \). 3. **Calculate 18% of 900 km**: - To find 18%, we multiply 900 km by \( \frac{18}{100} \): \[ 18\% \text{ of } 900 = 900 \times \frac{18}{100} \] 4. **Simplify the calculation**: - First, calculate \( \frac{900}{100} \): \[ \frac{900}{100} = 9 \] - Now multiply by 18: \[ 18 \times 9 = 162 \] 5. **Conclusion for part b**: - Therefore, 18% of 900 km is 162 km. ---
