Question 5:

A lawyer willed his 3 sons Rs 250000 to be divided into portions 30%, 45% and 25%. How much did each of them inherit?

Answer:

Second son's inheritance = 45% of 250000 = (45/1000)​ × 250000 = 11250000/100 = Rs. 112500
Third son's inheritance = 25% of 250000 = (25/100)​ × 250000 = 6250000/100 = Rs. 62500

Question 9:

In an orchard, 1623% of the trees are apple trees. If the number of trees in the orchard is 240, find the number of other type of trees in the orchard.

Answer:

Let the number of apple trees be 'x'.
Number of trees in the orchard = 240
Number of apple trees = 1623% of x 
According to the given condition,
     1623% of 240 = x
⇒   (503÷100) â€‹â€‹  ×  240 = x
50×2403×100 = x
⇒ x = 40
Number of other types of trees = Total number of trees - number of apple trees = 240 - 40 = 200 trees

Question 14:

In an examination, 8% of the students fail. What percentage of the students pass? If 1650 students appeared in the examination, how many passed?

Answer:

Total number of students who appeared for the examination = 1650
Number of students who failed = 8% of 1650   
                                      = (8/100) ×1650
                                      = (8 × 1650)/100
                                     = 13200/100 = 132 
Number of students who passed = 1650 - 132 = 1518
Percentage of students who passed = (1518/1650) × 100 = 0.92 × 100 = 92
That is, 92% of the students passed the examination.

Answer:

Let the number be x.
614÷100 of x=2254÷100 × x=225×x4×100=225×=2×4×100x=2×4×10025=32

Question 4:

If 6 is 50% of a number, what is that number?

Answer:

Let the number be x. 
   50% of x = 6
⇒ (50/100) × x = 6
⇒ x = 600/50
⇒ x = 12
So, the number is 12.

Question 1:

What per cent of
(i) 24 is 6?
(ii) Rs 125 is Rs 10?
(iii) 4 km is 160 metres?
(iv) Rs 8 is 25 paise
(v) 2 days is 8 hours?
(vi) 1 litre is 175 ml?

Answer:

Let the number be x.
(i) 24% of x = 6
  ⇒ (24/100) × x = 6
 ⇒ x = 600/24 = 25% 

(ii) 125% of   = 10
 ⇒ (125/100) ×  x = 10
 ⇒ x = 1000/125 = 8%

(iii) 4 km = 4000 metres (1 km = 1000 m)
4000% of  x = 160
⇒ (4000/100) â€‹× x =  160
⇒  x = 16000/4000  =  4%

(iv) Rs. 8 = 800 paise (Re. 1 = 100 paise)
   800%  of x =  25
⇒ (800/ 100) × x = 25
⇒  x = 2500/800 = 25/8 = 3.125%

(v) 2 days = 2 × 24 = 48 (1 day = 24 hours)
    48% of x = 8
⇒ (48/100)  ×  x =  8
⇒  x = 800/48 = 100/6 = 16.66%

(vi) 1 litre = 1000 ml    
    1000% of x = 175
⇒ (1000/100)  × x = 175
⇒ x = 17500/1000 = 175/10 = 17.5%

Question 2:

What per cent is equivalent to 38?

Answer:

Let the percentage equivalent to 3/8 be x.
Then,  x% = 38
    ⇒ x/100 = 38
    ⇒ x = 3×1008=37.5
Therefore, 3/8 = 37.5%.

Question 3:

Find the following:
(i) 8 is 4% of which number?
(ii) 6 is 60% of which number?
(iii) 6 is 30% of which number?
(iv) 12 is 25% of which number?

Answer:

Let the number be x.

(i) 4% of  = 8
  ⇒ (4/100) × x = 8
 ⇒ x = 800/4 = 200

(ii) 60% of x = 6
  ⇒  (60/100) ×  = 6
  ⇒   x = 600/60 = 10

(iii) 30% of x = 6
 ⇒ (30/100) × x = 6
 ⇒ x = 600/30 = 20

(iv) 25% of  x = 12
  ⇒ (25/100) × x = 12
 ⇒   x = 1200/25 = 48

Question 4:

Convert each of the following pairs into percentages and find out which is more?
(i) 25 marks out of 30, 35 marks out of 40.
(ii) 100 runs scored off 110 balls, 50 runs scored off 55 balls.

Answer:

(i) 25 marks out of 30 
   ⇒ (25/30) × 100 = 2500/30 = 83.33%
35 marks out of  40       
 ⇒ (35/40) × 100 = 3500/40 = 87.5%
87.5% is greater than 83.33%.

(ii) 100 runs scored off 110 balls
 ⇒ (100/110) × 100 = 10000/110 = 90.90%
   50  runs scored off  55 balls
 ⇒ (50/55) × 100 = 5000/55 = 90.90%
Both percentages are equal.

Question 5:

Find 20% more than Rs 200.

Answer:

20% more than 200 means 20% of 200 plus 200.
That is, {(20/100) × 200} + 200 = (4000/100) + 200 = 40 + 200 = 240.

Question 6:

Find 10% less than Rs 150.

Answer:

10% less than Rs. 150 means 150 minus 10% of 150.
That is, 150 - {(10/100) × 150}  = 150 - (1500/100) = 150 - 15  = Rs. 135.
