Rs. 6,000

Rs. 12,000

Rs. 9,000

Cannot be determined

Solution:

House hold expenditure = 50%
Remaining = 50%
On Remaining amount he spends:-
Travelling = 25%
Entertainment = 30%
Shopping = 15%
Total = 70% ⇒ Remaining = (100 – 70) % of 50%
Rest amount ⇒ 900 = 30% of 50%
⇒ 15% = 900
100% = 6,000.

Q17. In a test consisting of 80 questions carrying one mark each, Ankita answers 65% of the first 40 questions correctly. What percent of the other 40 questions does she need to answer correctly to score 80% on the entire test?

Solution:

Total marks of test = 80
Ankita scored = 65% of 40 Question (1 mark) = 26
But she needs to score = 80% of entire ‘test’
= 80% of 80
= 64 marks
So, she needs = (64 – 26) marks
= 38
Percentage ⇒ x% of 40 = 38
⇒ x = 95

845

897

810

104

Solution:

No. of students = 60
No. of teachers = 5
No. of sweets each students got = 20% of (60) = 12
Total sweets distributed among students
= 12 × 60 =720
No. of sweets each teacher got = 30% of (60)
= 18
Total sweets = 18 × 5 = 90
distributed among teachers
Total sweets = (720 + 90) = 810

7106

6840

8360

5814

Solution:

Let total votes = 100%
Invalid = 15%
Valid votes = 85%
1st candidate = 55% of 85%
So, 2nd candidate = 45% of 85%
According to the question,
100% → 15200
85% → 12920
Other candidate got = 45% of 12920
= 5814 vote
