Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a parliamentary system, if the Prime Minister is supported by 70% of the Lok Sabha members, how many members support the Prime Minister?
  • Step 1: Understand that the Lok Sabha has a total of 545 members.
  • Step 2: Know that 70% means 70 out of every 100 members support the Prime Minister.
  • Step 3: To find out how many members that is, calculate 70% of 545.
  • Step 4: Convert 70% to a decimal, which is 0.7.
  • Step 5: Multiply 0.7 by 545 to find the number of supporters: 0.7 * 545.
  • Step 6: Perform the multiplication: 0.7 * 545 = 381.5.
  • Step 7: Since we can't have half a member, round 381.5 down to 382.
  • Step 8: Conclude that 382 members support the Prime Minister.
