51. 1996 Mathematics Paper A Next Page Answer key Q14 This diagram shows the proportions of waste by weight a family throws away in one year, C The family throws away 130 kg of paper and card. 70% of this is newspapers . What is the weight of newspapers in kg ? 1% of 130 kg = 1.3kg 10% of 130 kg = 13kg 70% = 100% - 30% so 30% of 130kg = ?kg
52. 1996 Mathematics Paper A Next Page Q14 This diagram shows the proportions of waste by weight a family throws away in one year, C The family throws away 130 kg of paper and card. 70% of this is newspapers . What is the weight of newspapers in kg ? 1% of 130 kg = 1.3kg 10% of 130 kg = 13kg 70% = 100% - 30% so 30% of 130kg = 39kg 70% = 100% - 30% so 70% = ?kg (You could get the same answer by finding 10% and multiplying it by 7 to get 70%)
