Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If 30% of the members of the Rajya Sabha are from the ruling party and there are 245 members, how many members are from the ruling party?
  • Step 1: Understand that 30% means 30 out of every 100.
  • Step 2: We need to find 30% of 245 members.
  • Step 3: Convert 30% to a decimal. 30% as a decimal is 0.3.
  • Step 4: Multiply the total number of members (245) by 0.3: 0.3 * 245.
  • Step 5: Calculate the multiplication: 0.3 * 245 = 73.5.
  • Step 6: Since we cannot have half a member, round 73.5 to the nearest whole number, which is 74.
