If 50 meters of road makes 10% of the whole length of the road, the length of the road is:

  • (A) 500 meters
  • (B) 1500 meters
  • (C) 250 meters
  • (D) 5000 meters
  • Solution: We are told that 50 meters is 10% of the whole road.
  • Let’s assume that the total length of the road is L meters.
  • We can write this problem as:
  • 10% of L = 50
  • (10/100)L = 50
  • 0.1 L = 50
  • To find L, we divide both sides by 0.1:
  • L = 50/0.1 = 500 meters
  • Answer: 500 meters
