41.66 %
43.33 %
44.44 %
Cannot be determined
Answer: Option

1/10 in percentage is 10%.

Then question became (what % of 24% is equal to 10%).

X24/100 = 10/100.

X = 10/24 = 0.4166.

%X = 0.4166 x 100 = 41.66.

x is the total percentage of protein.
Convert to percentage i.e 1/10*100 = 10.

24%x = 10%
24/100 * x = 10,
x = 10/24*100,
x = 41.6666667%.

Proteins = 24%.

Skin = 1/10. Now multiply with 100 to convert into PERCENTAGE value.

Skin = 1/10(100) = 10%.

=> (10/24)*100 = 41.66%.

What is x% of Proteins is Skin
CONVERT the sentence into algebra. X% x P = S

X% x 24%=(1/10)

(X/100) x (24/100)= (1/10)

X=41.6%

Question asked is what % of protein is equivalent to skin, so (x/100)*(24%).

i.e (x/100)*(24/100) = 1/10.

x = 1000/24 = 41.666%.

Suppose x percent of 24% protein = 1/10,
x*(24/100)=(1/10).
x=(100*1)/(24*10)*100 (as they are asking in percent),
x=41.6.

How many of 24 x protein is equal to 1/10 of skin.
24x/ 100 = 10/100,
2400x= 1000,
X= 0.4166.
Thus, 0.4166 * 100 = 41.66.

The question actually is this that "what is the percentage of protein with respect of weight of skin?".

Uday said:   8 years ago
Shouldn't it be divided by 360? Since it is a pie chart?

Please clear by doubt.

Rahul said:   1 decade ago
Let the pie chart 1 = 100.

1/10 of 100 (skin)= 10%.

Now it is self explicit.
