The sum of 15% of a positive number and 20% of the same number is 126. What is the one-third of that number?1). 3602). 10803). 1204). 40

Answer»

Solution

Let the given number be X

Sum of 15% of x and 20% of x =$\frac{15x}{100}+\frac{20X}{100}$ = $\frac{35x}{100}$

$\frac{35x}{100}$ = 126

x = 100*126/35 = 360

1/3 RD of a number = 360/3 = 120

x^2 = 336400
x = 580 and
(1/2)x = 290

x = $ (3055 \times 100)/47) $

x = 6500

72% of x = $ (72/100) \times 6500 $

=$ 72 \times 65$

= 4680

Answer»

Solution

16.8% can be written as $\frac{16.8}{100}$ or $\frac{168}{1000}$

16.8% of 750 =$\frac{168\times705}{1000}$

We KNOW that

$\frac{168\times705}{1000}$ =118.44

Hence OPTION C is the correct answer.

Since the question is calculation intensive , we can also ROUND off the values to the nearest multiple of 10 and proceed the calculation.

$\frac{170\times700}{1000}$=119.

The nearest option is 118.4 Option C.



40.

Answer»

Solution

Let the required number be X.
Hence, 58% of 450-X% of 250=181
58% of 450 = 261

Therefore, 261 - X% of 250 = 181
Hence, X% of 250 = 80
So, X = $80 \TIMES 100 \div 250 = 32$

Meera had a certain amount, she gave 15% of that amount to Anish, 32% to Rubina and 25% to Sana. 3/4 th of the remaining amount is 8,400.How much did she give Anish?1). 6,0002). 62003). 64004). 7,000

Answer»

Solution

Let the total amount with MEERA be Rs y

After giving 15% to Anish, 32% to Rubina and 25% to Sana, Meera is LEFT with only 28% of the amount with her.

It is GIVEN that 3/4th of this amount is equal to 8400

So,

$\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{28}{100}\times{y}= 8400$

y = Rs 40,000

As the total amount with Meera is Rs 40,000 . 15% of y which is given to Anish will amount to $\frac{15}{100}\times{40000} = 6000$

Hence option A is correct

Three-tenth of a number is equal to 36% of another number. If Ow sum of these two numbers is 88. then what is the value of the smaller number ?1). 382). 403). 484). 34

Answer»

Solution

Let the numbers be a and B .

$\frac{3}{10}$a = $\frac{36}{100}$b

i.e.a = $\frac{12}{10}$b

also ,a + b = 88
$\frac{12}{10}$b + b = 88
b = 40

a = 88 - b = 88 - 40 = 48.
hence the smaller NUMBER is 40 .
