If 0.03 is X% of 0.3, then the value of X is:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 10

“0.03 is X% of 0.3” means \(\frac{X}{100}\times0.3=0.03\), so X is the first number as a percentage of the second.

• \(\displaystyle X=\frac{0.03}{0.3}\times100\)

• \(\displaystyle \frac{0.03}{0.3}=\frac{1}{10}\), so \(X=\frac{1}{10}\times100=10\)
