 Percentage

Percentage is a method of expressing fraction or parts of any quantity into an

equivalent form. Percentages are expressed in terms of hundredths i.e., the term
per cent means for every hundred. A fraction whose denominator is 100 is called a
percentage and the numerator of such a fraction is called the rate per cent. It is
denoted by the symbol %.

 Solution

Solution:1-

Let B = 100, then A = 100+(25% of 100) = 100+25 = 125

So % required = 25/125 × 100 = 20%

Solution:2 -
Let, the Price of Trouser = Rs.100
∴ The price of Shirt = Rs. 40
∴ Reqd. % = 60/40 × 100 = 150 %

Solution:3-

Let price increases from = 100: 120 = 5:6

So consumption will decrease inversely = 6:5

Hence % decrease in consumption = (6-5)/6 × 100 = 1/6 × 100 = 16.66%

Solution:4-

Let length of a rectangle changes from = 100 to 75 = 4:3

Hence breadth will increase inversely = 3 :4

Hence % increase in breadth = (4-3)/3 × 100 = (1/3) × 100 = 33.33%

Solution:5-
𝟏
10% = 𝟏𝟎 => original length is 10, new length will be 11

𝟏
20% = => original width is 5, new width will be 4
𝟓

Original area = length × width => 10×5 = 50

New area = length × width => 11×4 = 44

7
 Change will be 6/50 => 12% decrease.

Solution:6 - We know that the formula of cuboid volume is = L × B × H

20% = 1/5 => original length is 5, new length will be 6

10% = 1/10 => original width is 10, new width will be 11

25% = 1/4 => original height is 4, new height will be 3

Original volume = length × width × height => 10×5×4 = 200

New Volume = length × width × height => 11×6×3 = 198

Change will be 2/200 => 1% decrease.

Solution:7-
Let, 3rd no. = 100
then, 1st no. = 120
and 2nd no. = 150
𝟏𝟓𝟎− 𝟏𝟐𝟎
∴ Reqd. % = × 100 = 20%
𝟏𝟓𝟎

Solution:8-

Let, 3rd no. = 100

then 1st no. = 80
and 2nd no. = 60
𝟔𝟎
∴ Reqd. % = 𝟖𝟎 × 100 =75%

Solution:9-

10% = 1/10 , let original number is 10

Then 10% subtraction we get 10-1 = 9 and we have 9 = 360

1 = 40, then original number will be => 400

Here we have 20% increase in price so it means 20% = 1/5 => 6/5

Then the new price will be = 400 × (6/5) => 480

8
Solution:10 –

83.33% = 5/6 => 6x – 66 = 5x => x = 66,

Then original number will be = 6x = 396

10% of 396 is => 39.6

Then new number will be => 396+39.6 => 435.6 ans.

Solution:11-

As we discussed in the video ratio of price and quantity will be

In reverse ratio, if expenditure is same.

Here we have 10% decrease in price so it means 10% = 1/10 => 9/10

Price = 10 9

Quantity = 9 10 so 1 = 8

Then original consumption will be 9 = 72 kg Ans.

Solution:12-

As we discussed in the video ratio of price and quantity will be

In reverse ratio, if expenditure is same.

Here we have 10% decrease in price so it means 10% = 1/10 => 9/10

Price = 10 9

Quantity = 9 10 so 1 = 8

Then original consumption will be 10 = 80 kg Ans

9
 Solution: 13-

As we discussed in the video ratio of price and quantity will be

In reverse ratio, if expenditure is same.

Here we have 20% increase in price so it means 20% = 1/5 => 6/5

Price = 5 6

Quantity = 6 5 so 1 = 5

Then current consumption will be 5 = 25 kg

Then the current price will be 25 = 250 => 10 Rs/kg.

Solution:14 -
Let, C’s Income = Rs. 𝓍
∴ B’s Income = 70 % of Rs. 𝓍 = Rs. 0.7 𝓍
∴ A’s Income = Rs. 0.7 𝓍 + Rs. 400
∴ Rs. 𝓍 + Rs. 0.7 𝓍 + Rs. 0.7 𝓍 + Rs. 400 = Rs.2,320
⟹ 2.4 𝓍 = Rs.1,920
𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟎
∴ 𝓍= 𝟐.𝟒
= Rs.800

Solution:15
Let, the original price of T.V Set = Rs.100
∴ Now, price of the T.V Set = Rs. 100 × 70% × 130% = Rs. 91
∴ Reqd. % = 100 - 91 = 9 % decrease

Ans: 2) 40%

Solution
Solution:1-

Total no. of Boys = 600 × 80/(100 )= 480

⇒ Total monthly Fees of boys = 480 × 250=1,20,000

⇒ Total no. of Girls = 600 × 20/100=120

⇒ Each Girl’s monthly fees = 250 × 70/(100 )= 175

⇒ Total monthly fee’s girls= 120 × 175=21,000

⇒ Total monthly fees of all girls and boys = 1,20,000 + 21, 000 = Rs. 1,41,000

Solution:2-

Population after 3rd yr. =75,000 × 120% × 130% × 80% = 93,600

Solution:3-

Let, the no. of inhabitants 2 yrs. ago = 𝓍

∴ 𝓍 × 110% × 80% = 17,600

∴ 𝓍 = (17600 × 100 × 100)/(110 × 80) = 20,000

Solution: 4-

As we discussed in the video ratio of price and quantity will be

In reverse ratio, if expenditure is same.

Here we have 10% decrease in price so it means 10% = 1/10 => 9/10

Price = 10 9

Quantity = 9 10 so 1 = 8

Then original consumption will be 9 = 72 kg Ans.

Solution:5 –

As we discussed in the video ratio of price and quantity will be

In reverse ratio, if expenditure is same.

Here we have 10% decrease in price so it means 10% = 1/10 => 9/10

Price = 10 9

Quantity = 9 10 so 1 = 8

Then original consumption will be 10 = 80 kg Ans.

Solution:6-

As we discussed in the video ratio of price and quantity will be

In reverse ratio, if expenditure is same.

Here we have 20% increase in price so it means 20% = 1/5 => 6/5

Price = 5 6

Quantity = 6 5 so 1 = 5

Then current consumption will be 5 = 25 kg

Then the current price will be 25 = 250 => 10 Rs/kg.

Solution:7-

As we discussed in the video ratio of price and quantity will be

In reverse ratio, if expenditure is same.

Here we have 20% increase in price so it means 20% = 1/5 => 6/5

Price = 5 6

Quantity = 6 5 so 1 = 5

Then original consumption will be 6 = 30 kg

Then the original price will be 30 = 240 => 8 Rs/kg.

Solution:8 - (x×200/100)/(y×250/100) = 3/5 => on solving we get x/y = 3/4 Ans.

Solution:9 - (x×220/100)/(y×350/100) = 11/7 => on solving we get x/y = 5/2 Ans

Solution:10 - 57 1/7% = 4/7 , 121/2% = 1/8 and 25% = 1/4

Let total number of students is 56 which is multiple of 4 and 7

Girls are 4/7 => 32 then the rest are boys => 24

Passed girls are = 4 girls are passed then 28 will be fail

Passed boys are = 6 boys are passed then 18 will be fail

He we have given 28 = 280 means 10 times

Number of failed boys which is 18 will be 180 Ans.

Solution:11 - 16 2/3% = 1/6 , 331/3% = 1/3 and 20% = 1/5

Let total number of students is 90 which is multiple of 5,6 and 9

Girls are 1/6 => 15 then the rest are boys => 75

Passed girls are = 5 girls are passed then 10 will be fail

Passed boys are = 15 boys are passed then 60 will be fail

He we have given 60 = 120 means 2 times

Number of failed boys which is 20will be 40 Ans.

Solution:12 - (x×80/100)/(y×150/100) = 16/45 => on solving we get x/(y ) = 2/(3 ) Ans

Solution:-13- initial price is x then after reduction it will be => (x - .50)

60/(x-.5) - 60/(x) = 1/2 => on solving we get => x = 8 rupees. Initial price.

So, in second section will be 40 questions
we will solve this by trick
50% + (15%×40)/100 = 50% + 6% => 56% Ans

Solution:12 - we know that Total income = Net income + income tax

And we know that Income tax × 1/10 = net income × 2/5
10% = 1/10 and 40% = 2/5
Income tax / net income = 4/1
Total income = 5 => income tax rate = 4/5 => 80%

Solution:13 - we know that Total income = Net income + income tax

And we know that Income tax × 1/5 = net income × 1/2
20% = 1/5 and 50% = 1/2
Income tax / net income = 5/2
Total income = 7 => income tax rate = 5/7 => 70% approx.

Solution:14 - Let the initial income is x after increase of 5000 it will be x+5000

6
Ans: 2) 19%

Solution

Solution:1 - Let the initial income is x after increase of 4000 it will be x-4000
x×85/100×10/100 = (x-4000) ×85/100×15/100
On solving we get = x => 12000 ans.

Solution:2-
Let the total sales be x
According to the question
x × (24/100) + ( x - 25000) × (1/100) = 11,475
24x/100 + (x - 25000)/100 = 11475
24 x + x - 25000 = 11,47,500
25 x = 11,72,500
x = 46,900

Solution:3- Let the total sales be x

According to the question
x × 16/100 + (x - 20000) × 5/100 = 10865
(16x + 5x – 100000)/100 = 10865
21x – 100000 = 1086500
21x = 1186500
x = 56500

Solution:4-

7
Solution:5- Let the total sales be Rs. x
Earning = x × 16% + (x-25000) × 1/100
= 16x/100+ x/100- 250 = 17x/100- 250
Now, According to the question
Total Sales – Earning = 66650
x- (17x/100- 250) = 66650
x- 17x/100+ 250 = 66650
83x/100 = 66400
x= 80000

Solution:6- Let the total sales be x

1st Condition Salesman gets = x × 8%
2nd Condition Salesman gets = 10000 + (x - 30000) × 6%
The difference of 2nd and 1st condition is 2400
Therefore,
10000 + (x - 30000) × 6/100 – x × 8/100 = 2400
10000 + 6x/100 – 1800 - 8x/100 = 2400
10000 – 1800 – 2400 = 8x/100 - 6x/100
5800 = 2x/100
x = 290000

8
Solution:7- Let the total sales be x.
According to the Question,
x × (18/100) + (x - 40000) × (1/100) = 11000
(18x)/100+x/100 - 400 = 11000
(19x)/100 = 11400
x = 60000

Solution:8- Let the Total marks be x

According to the question,
30% of x + 50 = 50% of x -30
30x/100 + 50 = 50x/100 - 30
20x/100 = 80
x = 400
Passing marks = 30% of 400 + 50 = 120 + 50 = 170
Passing Percentage = (170/400) × 100 = 42.5%

Solution:9- Passing marks = 150 + 30 = 180

Let the maximum marks be x
According to the Question
40% of x = 180
x = 180/(40%) = 450

Solution:10-

Solution:11 Let the total number of registered voters = T = 4000
Number of voters who did not casted their votes = x% of Registered voters
So, number of voters who casted their votes = (100 – x)% of Registered voters
Out of casted votes, 180 were declared invalid.
So, number of valid votes = (100 – x)% of T – 180
Number of votes, winning candidate gets = 42% of T
The number of votes received by losing candidate = (100 – x)% of T – 180 – 42% of T
= (58 – x)% of T – 180
Difference of votes between winner and loser = 42% of T – [(58 – x)% of T – 180] = 740
(x – 16)% of T + 180 = 740
(x – 16)% of 4000 = 560
x – 16 = 14
x = 30
Registered voters who did not casted their votes = x% of 4000 = 30% of 4000 = 1200
Hence, option a) is the correct answer.

Solution:12- Let the total voters be 100

No. of votes casted = 85
No. of valid votes = 85 × (90 )/(100 ) = 76.5
Winning candidate got 60% of total votes = 60
Looser candidate got = 76.5 – 60 = 16.5
Difference between winning and looser candidate votes = 3,480
60 – 16.5 = 43.5
43.5 = 3,480
100 = 3,480/(43.5 )×100 = 8,000
Total number of voters = 8,000

Solution:13-

(80 unit – 1200) x (20/100) = 3760
{80 X (20/100)} unit – 1200 X (20/100) = 3760
16 unit = 3760 + 240
1 unit = 4000/16 = 250
Voting list = 100 unit = 250 x 100 = 25000

Solution:14- Let the required number = (LCM of denominator 4 and 5) = 20

According to the question,
Wrong answer = 4/5 times; 20 = 16
Correct answer = 5/4 times; 20 = 25
Required percentage of error = [(25-16)/ 25] times; 100 = 36%

Solution:15 - Ratio of expenditure => 5: 2 : 3

We can write these ratio = > 50 20 30 => 100

There is an increment of 10 % 25% 30%

5 5 9 => 19

Total change will be => 19 /100 = 19%
