\n" ); document.write( "20% of the total number of pupils in a class is 6.How many pupils are there in the class altogether?
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solution 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "20% is \"1%2F5\": \"20%2F100\" = \"1%2F5\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, \"1%2F5\" of the total number of pupils in the class is 6.\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the total number of pupils in the class is 5 times 6: 5*6 = 30.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  There are 30 pupils in the class.\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solution 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the total number of pupils in the class.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then you are given that \"%2820%2F100%29%2Ax\" = 6.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Cancel the factor 20 in the numerator and the denominator in the left side.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You will get  \"%281%2F5%29%2Ax\" = 6.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Multiply by 5 both sides. You will get x = 5*6 = 30.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The same answer.\r\n" );
