In a shipment of 120 machine parts, 5 per cent were defective. In an another shipment of 80 machine parts, 10 per cent were also defective. For the two shipments combined, what per cent of the machine parts were defective?

Total no. of machine parts in both the shipments

= (120 + 80) = 200

Total defective machine parts in both the shipments

= 120 × 5% + 80 × 10%

= 6 + 8 = 14

Therefore, required %

An inspector rejects 0.08% of the metres as defective. How many metres will he examine to reject 2 metres?

Let the inspector examined x metres,

then 0.08% of x = 2

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

Let the total number of votes enrolled be x. Then,

Number of votes cast = 75% of x. Valid votes = 98% of (75% of x).

∴ 75% of [98% of (75% of x)]

= 9261

A screw driver and a hammer currently have the same price. If the price of a screw driver rises by 5% and the price of hammer goes up by 3%, then how much more will it cost to buy 3 screw drivers and 3 hammers?

Let the original price of a screw driver and a hammer be ₹100 each.

Then, price of 3 screw drivers and 3 hammers = ₹600

Now, after increase of 5%, the price of 3 screw drivers = ₹315

And after 3% increase the price of 3 hammers = ₹309

Increased price of 3 hammers and 3 screw drivers = ₹624

Therefore, % increase in price

= percentage-q-51207.png

A company bought a total of 60 computers and 20 printers to modernise billing operations. If the price of each computer was three times the price of each printer then what per cent of the total cost of the purchase was the total cost of the printers?

Suppose price of the printer = P

∴ Price of a computer = 3P

Total cost of 60 computers = 180 P

Total cost of 20 printers = 20 P

∴ Total cost of the purchase = 200 P

Thus total cost of the printers is 10% of the total cost.

What is the total number of candidates at an examination, if 31% fail, and the number of those who pass exceeds the number of those who fail by 247?

Let the total number of candidates = x

Then, number of passed candidates

= (100 – 31)% of x = 69% of x

Now, 69 % of x – 31% of x = 247

⇒ 38% of x = 247

⇒ percentage-q-51201.png

In an election between two candidates, the candidate who gets 30% of the votes polled is defeated by 15,000 votes. What is the number of votes polled by the winning candidate?

Let the total number of votes be x

∴ votes polled by winning candidate

= (100 – 30)% of x = 70% of x

Now, 70% of x – 30% of x = 15,000

⇒ 40% of x = 15,000

⇒ percentage-q-51195.png

∴ number of votes polled by winning candidate

= 70% of 37500

The total population of a village is 5000. The number of males and females increases by 10% and 15% respectively and consequently the population of the village becomes 5600. What was the number of males in the village?

Let the number of males be x. Then,

number of females = (5000 – x).

∴ 10% of x + 15% of (5000 – x)

= (5600 –5000)

percentage-q-51183.png

⇒ 10x + 7500 - 15x = 60000

⇒ 5x = 1500

⇒ x = 3000

A store raised the price of an item by exactly 10 per cent. Which of the following could not be the resulting price of the item?

5 + 10% = 5.50

10 + 10% = 11

11 + 10% = 12.10

10% of the inhabitants of a village having died of cholera, a panic set in, during which 25% of the remaining inhabitants left the village. The population is then reduced to 4050. Find the number of original inhabitants.

Let the total number of original inhabitants be x. Then,

(100 – 25)% of (100 –10)% of x

= 4050

percentage-q-51450.png

percentage-q-51444.png

∴ Number of original inhabitants

= 6000.

Chunilal invests 65% in machinery, 20% in raw material and still has ₹1,305 cash with him. Find his total investment.

Let he had originally ₹x. Then

65% of x + 20 % of x + 1305 = x

0.65x + 0.2 x + 1305 = x

⇒ 0.15 x = 1305

⇒ x = ₹8700

∴ His total investment

= 65% of 8700 + 20% of 8700

= 85% of 8700 = ₹7395

When the price of a radio was reduced by 20%, its sale increased by 80%. What was the net effect on the sale?

Let the original price be x and sale be of y units.

Then, the revenue collected initially = x × y

Now, new price

= 0.8x, new sale = 1.8 y

Then, new revenue collected

= 1.44xy

% increase in revenue

= percentage-q-51426.png

= 44% increase

When the price of sugar was increased by 32%, a family reduced its consumption in such a way that the expenditure on sugar was only 10% more than before. If 30 kg were consumed per month before, find the new monthly consumption.

Since, expenditure = price × consumption

∴ 110% of 30

percentage-q-51420.png

⇒ percentage-q-51414.png

⇒ New consumption = 25 kg

In a college election between two rivals, a candidate who got 40% of the total votes polled, was defeated by his rival by 160 votes. The total number of votes polled was

Let total number of votes polled be x.

Then, votes polled by other candidate

= (100 – 40)% of x = 60% of x

Now 60% of x – 40% of x = 160

⇒ percentage-q-51395.png
