Step 1
AFIWXYCGOPQU
On looking at the given letters carefully, we notice that the letters that can be drawn using straight
lines are A F I W X Y.
Step 2
So, the number of letters that can be drawn using straight lines = 6
Total number of letters = 12
Step 3
Now, the percentage of letters that can be drawn using straight lines =
Letters that can be drawn using straight lines
× 100
Total number of letters

= × 100
12
= 50%.
(2) 0.049
Step 1
First of all let us find the cube of .
1
=
81
Step 2

81
= 0.049
(3) 28
Step 1
Let us rewrite this question as follows,
35% of 10% of 800 = 35% of (10% of 800)
Step 2
Now, let us first find value of (10% of 800),
10
(10% of 800) = 800 ×
100
= 80
Step 3
Now we can find value of 35% of (10% of 800) as follows,
= 35% of (10% of 800)
= 35% of 80
35
= 80 ×
100
= 28
(4) 17000 kg.
Step 1
If we look at the given chart carefully, we notice that the production of cauliflowers, onions, beans
in a farm is 37.5%, 12.5%, 50%, respectively.
Step 2
According to the question, the production of beans is 8500 kg, which is 50% of the farm.
or we can say that 50% production of the farm = 8500 kg.
8500
⇒ 1% production of a farm =
50
8500
⇒ 100% production of the farm = × 100 = 17000 kg.
50
Step 3
Since 100% production of the farm is 17000 kg, the total production will be 17000 kg.
(5) 5%
Step 1
1.5
1.5 out of 30 can be written in the fractional form as .
30
Step 2
In order to convert a fraction into percentage, we need to multiply it by 100.
1.5 150
So, the percentage form of the above fraction is × 100% = % = 5%
30 30
(6) 0
Step 1

65% of 4 = ×4=
100 100
Step 3
Now, we can find value of required expression:
(4% of 65) − (65% of 4)
260 260
= −
100 100
=0
(7) 13
Step 1
Total marks of the English test = 20
Percentage marks obtained by Tina = 65%
Step 2
Total marks obtained by Tina = 65% of 20
= 20 × 65%
20 × 65
=
100
1300
=
100
= 13
Step 3
Therefore, Tina got 13 marks in the English test.

Step 2
Now,
114
114 % =
100
= 1.14
Step 3
Therefore, the decimal value of 114% is 1.14.
(10) 25 %
Step 1
Total apples = 1000
Number of apples eaten by children = 750
Number of apples left = 1000 − 750 = 250
Step 2
We have been asked to find the percentage of apples left.
Number of apples left
% of apples left = × 100%
Total apples
250
= × 100%
1000
25000
= %
1000
= 25%
Step 3
Therefore, 25% apples were left.
(11) A) 23.408
Step 1
We have been asked to find the value of 13.3 % of 176.
Step 2
13.3 % of 176 means = 176 × 13.3 %
176 × 13.3
=
100
2340.8
=
100
= 23.408
Step 3
Therefore, 13.3 % of 176 is 23.408.
B) 6.194
Step 1
We have been asked to find the value of 32.6 % of 19.
Step 2
32.6 % of 19 means = 19 × 32.6 %
19 × 32.6
=
100
619.4
=
100
= 6.194
Step 3
Therefore, 32.6 % of 19 is 6.194.
C) 584.35
Step 1
We have been asked to find the value of 65 % of 899.
Step 2
65 % of 899 means = 899 × 65 %
899 × 65
=
100
58435
=
100
= 584.35
Step 3
Therefore, 65 % of 899 is 584.35.
D) 16.2
Step 1
We have been asked to find the value of 60 % of 27.
Step 2
60 % of 27 means = 27 × 60 %
27 × 60
=
100
1620
=
100
= 16.2
Step 3
Therefore, 60 % of 27 is 16.2.
(12) 80
Step 1
Let us assume the number to be x.
80 80x
80 % of x = x × =
100 100
Step 2
If we look at the question carefully, we will notice that the number(x) is equal to the sum of 16 and
80 % of x.
So, it can be written as:
80x
x = 16 +
100
16 × 100 + 80x
⇒x=
100
1600 + 80x
⇒x=
100
By cross multiplying both the sides
100 x = 1600 + 80x
⇒ 100 x - 80x = 1600
⇒ 20x = 1600
1600
⇒x=
20
⇒ x = 80
Step 3
Therefore, the number is 80.
(13) 24%
Step 1
According to the question, the electrician bought the old TV for Rs. 830 and spent Rs. 70 for fixing
it.
Therefore, the total cost incurred = 830 + 70 = Rs. 900
Step 2
Also, the selling price of the TV = Rs. 1116
Step 3
So, gain = Selling price of the TV - Total cost of the TV
= 1116 - 900
= Rs. 216
Step 4
Gain × 100
Thus, gain percentage =
Total cost of the TV
216 × 100
=
900
21600
=
900
= 24%
Step 5
Hence, the electrician made a profit of 24%.
(14) True
Step 1
According to the question, we have been asked to verify that 59% of 43% of 1600 = 43% of 59%
of 1600 is true or false.
Step 2
Let us compare L.H.S and R.H.S:
59 43 4059200
L.H.S = [ × 1600] =
100 100 10000
43 59 4059200
R.H.S = [ × 1600] =
100 100 10000
Now, L.H.S = R.H.S
Step 3
Therefore, 59% of 43% of 1600 = 43% of 59% of 1600 is true.
(15) False
Step 1
When salary of Gautam is compared with salary of Aamir, percentage is calculated using ratio of
salary difference relative to Aamir's salary.
Step 2
While if we compare salary of Aamir with salary of Gautam, the absolute difference remains same,
but relative difference will change, since now percentage will be relative to Gautam's salary.
Step 3
Therefore, these two percentages will be different. Hence, this statement is False.
