Q: In a parliamentary system, if the Prime Minister has the support of 70% of the Lok Sabha members, how many members support him if there are 545 members?
Solution: 70% of 545 = 0.7 * 545 = 382 members support the Prime Minister.
Steps: 6
Step 1: Understand that 70% means 70 out of every 100.
Step 2: To find 70% of 545, we need to multiply 545 by 0.7 (which is the decimal form of 70%).
Step 3: Calculate 0.7 * 545.
Step 4: Perform the multiplication: 0.7 * 545 = 381.5.
Step 5: Since we can't have half a member, we round 381.5 to the nearest whole number, which is 382.
Step 6: Conclude that 382 members support the Prime Minister.
