Read the scenario and calculate the correct numerical value to complete the statement.

Answer:A base supply warehouse holds

150

replacement tires for tactical vehicles. If a maintenance unit requisitions

20\%

of these tires for immediate use, the warehouse will issue 【30】 tires to the unit.

To find

20\%

150

, you must convert the percentage to a decimal (

0.20

) or a simple fraction (

\frac{1}{5}

). Then, multiply the total number of tires by this value:

150 \times 0.20 = 30

. Therefore,

30

tires will be issued to the maintenance unit.

Identify the total quantity and the percentage required.

Total tires =

150

, Percentage to issue =

20\%

These are the given values needed to find the partial amount.

Convert the percentage to a decimal or a fraction.

20\% = 0.20

(or

\frac{1}{5}

)

Percentages must be converted into a workable numeric format before calculating a portion.

Multiply the total quantity by the decimal or fraction to find the final amount.

150 \times 0.20 = 30

Multiplying the whole by the percentage rate gives the part of the whole.
