= \(\frac{x}{100}\times y\)
NA
We can write directly as,
(i) 10% of 100 = 10
(ii) 1% of 100 = 1
e.g;
25% of 100 = (20+5)% of 100
= 2*10% of 100 + 5* 1% of 100
= 20+ 5 = 25
(i) 10% of 100 = 10
(ii) 1% of 100 = 1
e.g;
25% of 100 = (20+5)% of 100
= 2*10% of 100 + 5* 1% of 100
= 20+ 5 = 25
Example 2 / 28
Let the number be 'x'.
So, 0.3*x = 300
=> x = 1000
Thus, 50% of 1000 = 5*(100) = 500 Ans.
So, 0.3*x = 300
=> x = 1000
Thus, 50% of 1000 = 5*(100) = 500 Ans.
Formula Used:

Since we don't know the values of A and B,
so, it can be depending upon the values of A and B.
0.4 A = 0.25 B

0.05A + 0.1B = 0.5*(0.2A + 0.1B)
0.05A + 0.1B = 0.1A + 0.05B
0.05A = 0.05B
So, A:B = 1:1 Ans.
0.05A + 0.1B = 0.5*(0.2A + 0.1B)
0.05A + 0.1B = 0.1A + 0.05B
0.05A = 0.05B

Example 6 / 28
Total votes = 12000
Invalid votes = 15% of 12000 = 0.15* 12000 = 1800
So, valid votes = 12000-1800 = 10200
No. of votes Chaman gets = 80% of 10200 = 0.80 * 10200 = 8160
No. of valid votes other candidates get = (10200 - 8160) = 2040 Ans.
Invalid votes = 15% of 12000 = 0.15* 12000 = 1800
So, valid votes = 12000-1800 = 10200
No. of votes Chaman gets = 80% of 10200 = 0.80 * 10200 = 8160
No. of valid votes other candidates get = (10200 - 8160) = 2040 Ans.

Let the actual length of the coat be 'x'.
So, x + 15% of x = 345
=> x + 0.15 x = 345
=> 1.15 x= 345
=> x = 300cm Ans.
So, x + 15% of x = 345

So, now,
Increased length = L + 10% of L = 1.1 L
Increased breadth = B + 20% of B = 1.2 B
Increased height = H + 50% of H = 1.5 H
New volume = 1.1L * 1.2B * 1.5H = 1.98 LBH
% change in volume = \(\frac{new volume – initial volume}{initial volume}\)

So, initial volume = L*B*H = LBH
So, now,
Increased length = L + 10% of L = 1.1 L
Increased breadth = B + 20% of B = 1.2 B
Increased height = H + 50% of H = 1.5 H
New volume = 1.1L * 1.2B * 1.5H = 1.98 LBH

Given that \(\frac{4}{5}\) of the voters in Kanpur promised to vote for Modi and the rest promised to vote for Advani
Now, let the voters in Kanpur promised 4x votes for Modi and x votes for Advani.
The voters who actully voted to Modi = (4x - 10% of 4x) = (4x - 0.4x) = 3.6x
The number of votes Modi got = 216000
So,3.6x = 216000

Total polled votes = (3.6x + 0.8x) = 4.4x
So, Total polled votes = 4.4*60000 = 264000
Now, let the voters in Kanpur promised 4x votes for Modi and x votes for Advani.
The voters who actully voted to Modi = (4x - 10% of 4x) = (4x - 0.4x) = 3.6x
The number of votes Modi got = 216000
So,3.6x = 216000
=> x = 216000/3.6 = 60000
And
The voters who actully voted to Advani = (x - 20% of x) = (x- 0.2x) = 0.8x
Now,
Total polled votes = (3.6x + 0.8x) = 4.4x
So, Total polled votes = 4.4*60000 = 264000
Formula Used:
Decrease in x by y% = (x - y% of x)
Decrease in x by y% = (x - y% of x)
NA
Tips: first, take our respective vots by given formula, then add and equate by total votes, and multiply by total polled
Example 23 / 28
Let the salary be x.
So, house rent = 25% of x.
Remaining= 75% of x.
So, for children's education = 20% of 75% of x = 15% of x
For clothes = 10% of x.
Money left with him = Rs.20,000
So, x - (25% of x) + (15% of x) + (10% of x) = 20000
so, x = 40,000 Ans.
So, house rent = 25% of x.
Remaining= 75% of x.
So, for children's education = 20% of 75% of x = 15% of x
For clothes = 10% of x.
Money left with him = Rs.20,000
So, x - (25% of x) + (15% of x) + (10% of x) = 20000
so, x = 40,000 Ans.
Formula Used:
Remaining salary = Total - (sum of all expenses)
Remaining salary = Total - (sum of all expenses)
NA
To find the total salary, first find the total expense, add all and subtract from the salary and equate it to the remaining salary given.
Example 24 / 28
Monthly salary = A
Expenditure = X.
So, Remaining = (A-X).
Now, for next month, increase of C%
So, (A) + C% of (A) = \(A\left[1 + \frac{C}{100}\right]\)
New Expenditure = x + D% of x
= \(X\left(1 + \frac{D}{100}\right)\)
Remaining = (New Salary - New Expenditure)
= \(A\left[1+ \frac{C}{100}\right] - X\left[1+\frac{D}{100}\right]\) Ans.
Expenditure = X.
So, Remaining = (A-X).
Now, for next month, increase of C%
So, (A) + C% of (A) = \(A\left[1 + \frac{C}{100}\right]\)
New Expenditure = x + D% of x
= \(X\left(1 + \frac{D}{100}\right)\)
Remaining = (New Salary - New Expenditure)
= \(A\left[1+ \frac{C}{100}\right] - X\left[1+\frac{D}{100}\right]\) Ans.
Formula Used:
Savings = (Salary - Expenditure)
Increase in salary by x% = salary + x% of salary
Increase in expenditure by y% = expenditure + y% of expenditure
New savings = (increased salary - increased expenditure)
Savings = (Salary - Expenditure)
Increase in salary by x% = salary + x% of salary
Increase in expenditure by y% = expenditure + y% of expenditure
New savings = (increased salary - increased expenditure)
NA
To increase X by Y%, we have formula,
X(1+\(\frac{Y}{100}\)
Also, Savings = (salary - expenditure)
X(1+\(\frac{Y}{100}\)
Also, Savings = (salary - expenditure)
Example 25 / 28
Rebate = 20% of 10000
i.e price after rebate is 80% of 10000 = 8000.
sales tax is 10% of 8000 = 800
Therefore,Final amount paid = 8000 + 800 = Rs. 8800 Ans.
i.e price after rebate is 80% of 10000 = 8000.
sales tax is 10% of 8000 = 800
Therefore,Final amount paid = 8000 + 800 = Rs. 8800 Ans.
Formula Used:
Sale price(SP) = (P - R*P)
Where, P = original price, R = rebate(discount %)
Then Sales = S * SP, where S = sales%, SP = sales price
So, final amount paid = Sales + SP.
Sale price(SP) = (P - R*P)
Where, P = original price, R = rebate(discount %)
Then Sales = S * SP, where S = sales%, SP = sales price
So, final amount paid = Sales + SP.
NA
Rebate is nothing but simple discount on the given original price.
Example 26 / 28
Let Bhuwan's salary be Rs.100.
So, Anuj's salary = Rs.80.
Salary of Chauhan = Rs.80 + 56.25% of 80 = Rs.125
So, Bhuwan's salary is less than Chahuhan's salary by Rs.(125 - 100) = Rs.25
% Decrease = \(\frac{25}{125} \times 100\) = 20% Ans.
So, Anuj's salary = Rs.80.
Salary of Chauhan = Rs.80 + 56.25% of 80 = Rs.125
So, Bhuwan's salary is less than Chahuhan's salary by Rs.(125 - 100) = Rs.25
% Decrease = \(\frac{25}{125} \times 100\) = 20% Ans.
Formula Used:% Increase in x by y% = x + y% of x
NA
To increase X by Y%, we have formula,
\(X\left(1 + \frac{Y}{100}\right)\)
\(X\left(1 + \frac{Y}{100}\right)\)
Example 27 / 28
Total Runs = 100
Total boundaries = 4, Total sixes = 6
So, Total score made by running = 100-(4*4+6*6) = 100-52 = 48 runs
So, % Score = \(\frac{48}{100} \times 100\) = 48% Ans.
Total boundaries = 4, Total sixes = 6
So, Total score made by running = 100-(4*4+6*6) = 100-52 = 48 runs
So, % Score = \(\frac{48}{100} \times 100\) = 48% Ans.
Formula Used:
Total score by running = (Total Score - (sixes + boundaries)
% score = \(\frac{Total Score By Running}{Total Runs}\times 100\)
Total score by running = (Total Score - (sixes + boundaries)
% score = \(\frac{Total Score By Running}{Total Runs}\times 100\)
NA
NA
Example 28 / 28
Let the length of the plot 'x' m and breadth be 'y' m respectively.
So, initial area= 'xy' sqm.
Now,
Increased length= x + 20% of x = \(\frac{120x}{100}\)
Increased breadth= y + 30%of y = \(\frac{130y}{100}\)
So, New Area = \(\frac{120x}{100}\)*\(\frac{130y}{100}\)
So, % change = \(\frac{ (New Area - Initial Area)}{Initial Area}\)*100
= \(\frac{\left(\frac{120x}{100} \times \frac{130y}{100}-xy \right)}{xy} \times 100\)
= 56% Ans.
So, initial area= 'xy' sqm.
Now,
Increased length= x + 20% of x = \(\frac{120x}{100}\)
Increased breadth= y + 30%of y = \(\frac{130y}{100}\)
So, New Area = \(\frac{120x}{100}\)*\(\frac{130y}{100}\)
So, % change = \(\frac{ (New Area - Initial Area)}{Initial Area}\)*100
= \(\frac{\left(\frac{120x}{100} \times \frac{130y}{100}-xy \right)}{xy} \times 100\)
= 56% Ans.
Formula Used:
Increase in x by y% = x+y% of x.
= \(\frac{\left(New Area - Initial Area\right)}{Initial Area} \times 100\)
Increase in x by y% = x+y% of x.
= \(\frac{\left(New Area - Initial Area\right)}{Initial Area} \times 100\)
NA
Take out the new length and new breadth by the formula of % increase, i.e;
To increase X by Y%, we have formula,
\(X\left(1 + \frac{Y}{100}\right)\)
So, New Area = (New length * New breadth).
So, % change = \(\frac{\left(New Area - Initial Area\right)}{Initial Area} \times 100\)
To increase X by Y%, we have formula,
\(X\left(1 + \frac{Y}{100}\right)\)
So, New Area = (New length * New breadth).
So, % change = \(\frac{\left(New Area - Initial Area\right)}{Initial Area} \times 100\)
