1.	1. Mohini save 400 from her salary. If this is 10% of her salary, then what is her salary? 2. 16% of the apples in a basket go bad. If there are 42 good apples in the basket, find the total number of apples in the basket.
Answer» 1. let the salary of mohini be x 10%×x=400 10x/100=400 x=40000/10 4000 THUS her salary is 40002. Given, 16% of the total apples is bad. The number of total good apples = 42 For calculating,the total number of apples,we have to calculate the total number of bad apples. Let,the total apple = x (ASSUME x as a variable to perform the further mathematical calculations.) So, The PERCENTAGE of good apples = 100-16 = 84% So,the number of good apples = x × 84/100 = x × 42/50 = x × 21/25 = 21x/25 Now,if we compare the number of good apple that we have calculated and the number of good apples is given in the question,we will get the FOLLOWING mathematical equation. 21x/25 = 42 x = 42 × 25/21 x = 50 Hence,there are 50 apples in the basket.
