Question 1
What percent of a day is the time duration of 3 hours?
Sol :
Total hours in a day = 24 hours
Given hours = 3 hours in percentage
$=\dfrac{3}{24}\times 100\%$
$=\dfrac{300}{24}=12\dfrac{1}{2}\%$
Hence , $12\dfrac{1}{2}\%$ of a day represent 3 hours

Question 3
A person's salary increases from ₹ 7,200 to ₹ 8,100.What is the percentage increase in his salary?
Sol :
According to question:
Increase in salary = 8100 - 7200 = 900
Percentage increase $=\dfrac{900}{7200}\times 100$
$=\dfrac{90000}{7200}=\dfrac{900}{72}=\dfrac{100}{8}$ $=\dfrac{50}{4}=\dfrac{25}{2}=12\dfrac{1}{2}$
$12\dfrac{1}{2}$ is the percentage increase in his salary

Question 4
A fruit seller had some apples.He sells 40% apples and still has 420 apples.How many apples did he originally have?
Sol :
Let the total number of apples is x
As , already mentioned 40% already sold which means 60% of total apples is equal to 420
⇒$\dfrac{60}{100}\times x = 420$
⇒$x=\dfrac{420\times 100}{60}$
⇒x=700
Hence , the total number of apples is 700

Question 5
A water pipe is cut into pieces.The longer piece is 70% of the length of the pipe.By how much percent is the longer piece longer than the shorter piece?
Sol :
Let the water pipe's original total length be 100 m
Then Length of longer piece of pipe is 70% of original $=\dfrac{70}{100}\times 100m$ = 70 m
And Length of shorter piece of pipe is 30% of original $=\dfrac{30}{100}\times 100m$ = 30 m
As you can see here Longer piece is long by 70 - 30 = 40 m than shorter piece
In percentage the longer piece longer than the shorter piece
$=\dfrac{40m}{30}\times 100\%$
$=\dfrac{400}{3}\%$

Question 6
If a number is increased by 20% and the resulting number is again increased by 20%, what percent is the total increase?
Sol :
Let the original number be 100 and Increased by 20%
Which is = 100 + 20% of 100
$= 100 + \dfrac{20}{100}\times 100 $
= 120
And again 20% increased
= 120 + 20% of 120
$= 120 + \dfrac{20}{100}\times 120 $
= 120 + 24
= 144
Total increase = 144 - 100 = 44
Percentage increase $=\dfrac{44}{100}\times 100\%$
= 44 %

Question 7
If A's income is 50% less than that of B, then B's income is what percent more than that of A?
Sol :
Let the income of B is 100
Then , A.T.Q A's income is
A = B - 50% of B
$=100-\dfrac{50}{100}\times 100$
= 100 - 50
A = 50
Difference in B's income and A's income = 100 - 50 = 50
Percentage increase in B's income as compare to A's income $=\dfrac{\text{difference}}{\text{A's income}}\times 100\%$
$=\dfrac{50}{50}\times 100\%$
= 100 %

Question 8
If the price of petrol be raised by 20%, then what is the percentage by which a car owner must reduce its consumption so as not to increase his expenditure on petrol?
Sol :
Let the original price of petrol is 100
New price = 100 + 20% of 100
$=100+\dfrac{20}{100}\times 100$
= 120
Difference between prices = 120 - 100 = 20
Percentage decrease of use of petrol $=\dfrac{\text{Difference}}{\text{New price}}\times 100\%$
$=\dfrac{20}{120}\times 100\%$
$=\dfrac{1}{6}\times 100\%=\dfrac{100}{6}$ $=\dfrac{50}{3}=16\dfrac{2}{3}$
Hence , the should reduce its consumption by $16\dfrac{2}{3}$

Question 9
In an examination, 1100 boys and 900 girls appeared. 50% of the boys and 40% of the girls passed the examination.What is the percentage of candidates who failed?
Sol :
Failed in boys = 50% of 1100 $=\dfrac{50}{100}\times 1100$ = 50×11 = 550
Failed in girls = 60% of 900 $=\dfrac{60}{100}\times 900$ = 60×9 = 540
Total percentage of failed students $=\dfrac{\text{total failed students}}{\text{total students}}\times 100$
$=\dfrac{550+540}{1100+900}\times 100\%$
$=\dfrac{1090}{2000}\times 100\%$
= 54.5%

Question 10A candidate who scores 30% fails by 5 marks, while another candidate who scores 40% marks get 10 more than minimum pass marks.What are the minimum pass marks required to pass?
Sol :
Let x be the total marks . According to question
30% of x + 5 = minimum passing marks ..(i)
Also , minimum passing marks also equal to 40% of x - 10 ..(ii)
From (i) and (ii) , we get
⇒30% of x + 5 = 40% of x - 10
⇒+5+10=40% of x - 30% of x
⇒$15 = \dfrac{40}{100}\times x - \dfrac{30}{100}\times x$
⇒$15 = \dfrac{40x-30x}{100}$
⇒1500=10x
⇒$x = \dfrac{1500}{10}=150$
Total marks = x = 150 And
Minimum passing marks is equal to 30% of x + 5 [from(i)]
$=\dfrac{30}{100}\times 150 + 5$
= 3×15 + 5
= 45 + 5
= 50
Hence , minimum passing marks is equal to 50

Question 11
Out of his income, Mr.Raj spends 20% on house rents and 70% of the rest on household expenditure.If he saves ₹ 3,600 per month, then what is his total income per month?
Sol :
Let the total income be x
A.T.Q
Spending on house = 20% of x $=\dfrac{20}{100}\times x=\dfrac{x}{5}$
Remaining = Total income - spending on house
$= x - \dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{5x-x}{5}=\dfrac{4x}{5}$ ..(i)
Spending on households = 70% of remaining [from (i)]
$=\dfrac{70}{100}\times \dfrac{4x}{5}=\dfrac{7 \times 4x}{10\times 5}$ $=\dfrac{28x}{50}=\dfrac{14x}{25}$
Remaining = remaining [from(i)] - spending on households
$=\dfrac{4x}{5}-\dfrac{14x}{25}=\dfrac{5(4x)-14x}{25}$ $=\dfrac{20x-14x}{25}=\dfrac{6x}{25}$
And this remaining must be equal to his savings
⇒$\dfrac{6x}{25}=3600$
⇒$x=\dfrac{3600\times 25}{6}=\dfrac{90000}{6}$
⇒x=15000
Hence , total income is equal to 15000
helps a lot thanks
