Percentage · solved example

What is 10% of 350?

  • 30
  • 35Correct
  • 40
  • 45

Solution

10% of 350 = (10/100) × 350 = 35. Moving the decimal one place left also gives 35.

Average · solved example

The average of five numbers is 18. If four of them are 15, 16, 20 and 21, find the fifth number.

  • 16
  • 18Correct
  • 20
  • 22

Solution

Sum of five numbers = 18 × 5 = 90. Sum of the four given numbers = 15 + 16 + 20 + 21 = 72. The fifth number = 90 − 72 = 18.

Profit and loss · solved example

An item bought for Rs 400 is sold for Rs 460. What is the profit percentage?

  • 12%
  • 15%Correct
  • 18%
  • 20%

Solution

Profit = 460 − 400 = Rs 60. Profit % = (60/400) × 100 = 15%. The percentage is always on cost price unless the question states otherwise.

Time and work · solved example

A can finish a task in 10 days and B in 15 days. Working together, in how many days will they finish it?

  • 5 days
  • 6 daysCorrect
  • 7 days
  • 8 days

Solution

A's one-day work = 1/10, B's = 1/15. Combined daily work = 1/10 + 1/15 = (3 + 2)/30 = 5/30 = 1/6. So they finish together in 6 days.
