Question

What percent of 1 day is 36 minutes?

(a) 25% (b) 2.5% (c) 3.6% (d) 0.25%

Answer 1

(b) 2.5%

Because,

Assume x be the percent of 1 day is 36 minutes

We know that, 1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

= 60 × 24

= 1440 minutes

Now,

= (x % of 1440) = 36

= (x/100) × 1440 = 36

= x = (36 × 100) /1440

= x = 2.5%
