75. Silu and Meenu were walking on the road. Silu said,

Answer: 58 Kgs.

Explanation:

Given that Meenu weighs 29 Kgs plus half of her own weight.
It means that 29 Kgs is the other half. So she weighs 58 Kgs.
Solving mathematically, let's assume that her weight is A Kgs.
A = 29 + A/2
2*A = 58 + A
A = 58 Kgs.

76. A man purchased a watch for Rs.400 and sold it at a gain of 20% of the selling price. The selling price of the watch is:

Answer: Rs. 500

Explanation:

Given Cost price of watch = 400
and Gain% = 20% of SP
20%of SP = SP - CP
CP = SP(1-20/100)
=> CP = SP*4/5
=> SP = CP * 5/4
=>SP = 400*5/4
=> SP = Rs. 500

NOTE:
If the question if it would have given like"purchased for Rs. 400 and sold it at a gain of 20% of the Cost price ?"
Then
Given Cost price of watch = 400
and Gain% = 20%
Gain = 400 * 20/100 = 80
Cost price = (400 + 80) = 480


As in this questions it has given "purchased for Rs. 400 and sold it at a gain of 20% of the Selling price ?"

77. A new apartment complex purchased 60 toilets and 20 shower heads. If the price of a toilet is three times the price of a shower head, what percent of the total cost was the cost of all the shower heads?

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

Lets assume the cost of shower head = x.
So,cost of the toilet = 3x.
Total cost of 60 toilets and 20 shower heads = 60 * 3x + 20* x = 200x
So shower heads cost as a percentage of total cost = (200x/20x)% = 10%
