If Mumbai’s average daily vehicular pollution level is 200 units and a traffic rule reduces the number of vehicles by 30%, how many units will be reduced?
Answer
60 units
The correct answer is 60 units — So 60 units of pollution will be reduced.
Step-by-step solution
- 30% of 200 units is 0.30 × 200.
- 0.30 × 200 = 60.
- So 60 units of pollution will be reduced.
Common mistake: Multiplying instead of reducing
Concept tested: Air pollution reduction
