(c) 40% of it is 500 km.
(d) 70% of it is 14 minutes.
(e) 8% of it is 40 litres.

(a) Let the whole quantity be X Therefore, 5 % of X = 600 Thus the required whole quantity is 12000 (b) 12 % of X = Rs 1080 (c) 40 % of X = 500 km (d) 70% of X = 14 minutes (e) 8 % of X = 40 litre

Q: 4
Find: (a) 15$\%$ of 250
(b) 1$\%$ of 1 hour
(c) 20$\%$  of Rs 2500
(d) 75$\%$ of 1 kg

Here per cent implies for () Therefore,  (a) 15% of 250 = 37.5 (b) 1 of 1 hour  = 1  of 60 minutes    (c) 20  of Rs 2500   (d) 75 of 1 kg We know that 1kg = 1000 gm, therefore,  =0.75 kg

Q.11.    If Meena gives an interest of Rs 45 for one year at 9% rate p.a. What is the sum she has borrowed?

Given that, Principal =? Interest = Rs 45 Time = 1 year Rate= 9% p.a Therefore,                          Hence she borrowed total Rs 500

Q.10.    What rate gives Rs 280 as interest on a sum of Rs 56,000 in 2 years?

Given that, Principal = Rs 56,000 Interest = Rs 280 Time = 2 year Rate= ? Therefore,

Q.9.    Find the amount to be paid at the end of 3 years in this case:

(b) Principal = Rs 7,500 at 5% p.a.

Given that, Principal (PA)= Rs 7,500 at 5% p.a. (Rate of interest) and T = 3 year We know that, Now, putting the values in the above equation, we get   So, Amount = PA + PI = 7,500 + 1125 = Rs 8625

Q.9.    Find the amount to be paid at the end of 3 years in this case:

(a) Principal = Rs 1,200 at 12% p.a.

Given that, Principal (PA)= Rs 1,200 at 12% p.a. (Rate of interest) and T = 3 year We know that, Now, putting the values in the above equation, we get   So, Amount = PA + PI = 1200 + 432 = Rs 1632

Q.8.    Amina buys a book for Rs 275 and sells it at a loss of 15%. How much does she sell it for?

Here we have, CP of the book = Rs 275 Loss = 15% We know that,                                                                                                      Hence the required selling price is Rs 233.75

Q.7.(ii)    If in a stick of chalk, carbon is 3g, what is the weight of the chalk stick?

We have the weight of the carbon = 3g Therefore, the weight of the chalk  Hence the weight of the chalk is 25g

Q.7.(i)     Chalk contains calcium, carbon and oxygen in the ratio 10:3:12. Find the percentage of carbon in chalk.

We have, The ratio of calcium, carbon and oxygen in the chalk = 10 : 3: 12 Now, Sum of the ratio = 10 + 3 + 12 = 25 Therefore, the percentage of carbon in the chalk

Q.3.    The population of a city decreased from 25,000 to 24,500. Find the percentage decrease.

Given that, Initial population  = 25,000 Final population = 24,500 Total decrement = 1000  (25000 - 24500) Therefore, percentage in decrease

Q.2.    Convert each part of the ratio to percentage:

(d) 1 : 2 : 5

(d) 1 : 2 : 5 Sum of the ratio part = 1 + 2 + 5 = 8 therefore, the percentage of the first part the percentage of the second part  the percentage of the third part

Q.2.    Convert each part of the ratio to percentage:

(c) 1:4

(c) 1:4 Sum of the ratio part = 4 + 1 = 5 therefore, the percentage of the first part the percentage of the second part

Q.2.    Convert each part of the ratio to percentage:

(b) 2 : 3: 5

(b) 2 : 3: 5 Sum of the ratio part = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 Therefore, the percentage of the first part  the percentage of the second part the percentage of the third part
