Aptitude - Percentage - Discussion

Percentage formula.

% = [final value-intial value/intial value] * 100.
% = 87500/17500 * 100.
= 5 is the ans hence proved.

Nice, Thanks for explaining.

@Manisha.

Take total salary = 100%.
100% - 20% - 60% - 10%,
= 10%.

According to the question:
10%= 30, then,
100%=x,
By cross multiplication, we got x= 300.
Which was his total salary.

1 decade = 10 years.

Population increased as 175000 to 262000 in decade;
x = (262000-175000) = 87500.
increase percentage =(x/175000*100) = 50%.
The required average of decade from increased percentage = [increased percentage / decade] = (50/10)% = 5%.

how to solve this question if 20% of man's salary is paid as rent, 60%are his living expanses, and 10% is paid in L.I.C. if he spends remaining Rs. 30 on the education of the children, find his salary.

Thanks shivani.

Nice Muthupazhani.

In an election between two candidates, 75% of the voter's caste their votes, out of which 2% of the votes were declared invalid. A candidate got 9261 votes which were 75% of the total valid votes. Find the total number of votes enrolled in that election.

Can anyone solve this?

Hi @Jayakumar s

let the total number of votes = x
no.of votes cast = 75% of x
The valid votes = 98% of (no.of votes cast)
i.e 98% of (75% of x) (here 2% is invalid so (100-2)%=98%)

Then (A candidate got 75% of valid votes =9261)
75% of (98% of (75% of x) = > 75/100 * 98/100 *75/100 * x =9261.
= > (9261*100*100*100) / (75*98*75),
= > 9261000000 / 551250,
= >16800.

percentage increase = (increased quantity/initial quantity) * 100.

As given above problem.

Increased quantity = 262500 - 17500.
= 87500
Percentage increase = (87500/175000) * 100.
= 50% per decade means for 10 years.

Per one year = 50/10 = 5%.
