Card 2Finding the whole from percent

Solve: 32% of a number is 80. Find the number.

Answer

Step 1: Use x% of y = x/100 × y. Step 2: Let the number be n. Step 3: 32/100 × n = 80. Step 4: n = 80 × 100/32 = 250. Answer: 250

Card 3Mixed percentage evaluation

Solve: 16% of 150 - 25% of 84 + 8% of 550

Answer

Step 1: Find each part. 16% of 150 = 16/100 × 150 = 24. 25% of 84 = 25/100 × 84 = 21. 8% of 550 = 8/100 × 550 = 44. Step 2: Substitute in the expression. 24 - 21 + 44 = 47. Answer: 47

Card 4Salary and savings

A man spends 65% of his salary and saves ₹525 per month. Find his monthly salary.

Answer

Card 5Percentage error

Find the percentage error when 4.0 is wrongly read as 4.48.

Answer

Step 1: Find the error. 4.48 - 4.0 = 0.48. Step 2: Use percentage error = error/original × 100%. Step 3: 0.48/4.0 × 100% = 12%. Answer: 12%

Card 6Remaining percentage

Out of 500 articles, 70 are broken. Find the percentage of remaining articles.

Answer

Step 1: Find remaining articles. 500 - 70 = 430. Step 2: Use percentage = part/whole × 100%. 430/500 × 100% = 86%. Answer: 86%

In an election, one candidate secured 43% of the votes and lost by 4900 votes. Find total votes polled.

Answer

Step 1: Winning candidate got 100% - 43% = 57%. Step 2: Difference = 57% - 43% = 14% of votes. Step 3: 14% of total = 4900. Step 4: Total votes = 4900 × 100/14 = 35000. Answer: 35,000 votes
