159=x+6% of x
159=x+((6/100)*x)
159=(106/100)x
x=(159*100)/106
x=150 cm
(1) Rs 75,000
(2) Rs 70,000
(3) Rs 80,000
(4) Rs 85,000
(5) None of these
remaining money =(100-85)%=15%
remaining money=11,250
Therefore,
15% of the total money =11250
total money = (11250*100)/15
total money= Rs. 75000
1. 8%
2. 7%
3. 10%
4. 6%
petrol price=100rs
total cost =100*100
Price incresed (25%)=125
Petrol used=10000/125=80 ltrs
He increased only 15% so that
=> 80*115/100
=>92%
Therefore
Reduced Quantity=(100-92)%=8%
1. 90
2. 250
3. 75
4. 85
Sujith got 40% Marks
Difference between their marks =10%of total marks =(10+15)=25 marks
Arun got marks=(25/10)*30=75
Passing marks =75+10=85
1. 60%
2. 70%
3. 80%
4. 90%
20% of these men play football.
Therefore,
20% of 20% = (20/100)*20
=>4% of the total men are football players above the age of 50 years.
20% of the men are football players. Therefore, 16% ie (20-4) % of the men are football players below the age of 50 years.
Therefore, the % of men who are football players and below the age of 50
=>(16/20)*100=80%
