percentage

Percentage : By a certain percent we mean that many hundredths. thus ,x percent means x hundredths, written as x % To express x % as a fraction : We have , x % = x/100 Thus, 15 % = 15/100 = 3/20 24%= 24/100 =6/25 To express a/b as a percent : etc. We have a/b = [a/b*100] %.

Thus, 3/4 = [3/4*100] % = 75 % 6/5 = [6/5*100] % = 120 % etc. 0.6 = 6/10 = 3/5 = [3/5*100]% = 60%.

(100 - R) Results on Population: Let the population of a town be P now and suppose it increases at the rate of R% per annum, then: 1. Population after n years = P n 100 2. Population n years ago = 1+ 100 Results on Depreciation: Let the present value of a machine be P. Suppose it depreciates at the rate of R% per annum. Then: 1. Value of the machine after n years = P n 100 2. Value of the machine n years ago = 1100 3. If A is R% more than B, then B is less than A by x 100 %. (100 + R) 4.

(a) by (b) If a quantity is increased by r% then final quantity (after increase ) is obtained multiplying the original quantity by[100+r/100] Likewise, if a quantity is decreased by r% the final quantity (after decrease ) is obtained by multiplying the original quantity by [100-r/100]

(c) successive increase/decrease : Example 5 and 6 show the successive application of the percentage to a given (original) value.
