1. A student got $$320$$ marks out of $$500$$ marks, find out percentage marks the student obtained?

1. $$55 \ \%$$
2. $$62 \ \%$$
3. $$64 \ \%$$
4. $$66 \ \%$$

Answer: (c) $$64 \ \%$$

Solution: Given, Total marks = $$500$$, marks ontained by student = $$320$$ then, $$Percentage = \frac{Marks \ obtained}{Total \ Marks} \times 100$$ $$= \frac{320}{500} \times 100 = 64 \ \%$$

1. If the difference between $$65 \ \%$$ and $$45 \ \%$$ of a number is $$500$$, then find out the number?

1. $$2300$$
2. $$2500$$
3. $$2800$$
4. $$3000$$

Answer: (b) $$2500$$

Solution: Difference between $$65 \ \%$$ and $$45 \ \%$$ = $$500$$

$$65 \ \% - 45 \ \% = 500$$

$$20 \ \% = 500$$ then

$$1 \ \% = 25$$

$$100 \ \% = 2500$$, then the number is $$2500$$

1. If $$20 \ \%$$ of a number is $$600$$, then find the $$35 \ \%$$ of the number?

1. $$1050$$
2. $$1150$$
3. $$1100$$
4. $$1075$$

Answer: (a) $$1050$$

Solution: Given, $$20 \ \% = 600$$ then

$$1 \ \% = 30$$ and $$35 \ \% = 1050$$

1. A man covers $$150 \ km$$ out of total distance $$350 \ km$$. Find the percentage distance the man covers?

1. $$42 \ \%$$
2. $$43.534 \ \%$$
3. $$44.534 \ \%$$
4. $$42.857 \ \%$$

Answer: (d) $$42.857 \ \%$$

Solution: Given, Total distance = $$350 \ km$$

The man covers the distance = $$150 \ km$$ then, $$Percentage = \frac{distance \ covered}{Total \ distance} \times 100$$ $$= \frac{150}{350} \times 100 = 42.857 \ \%$$

1. If the income of Trump is $$50 \ \%$$ more than that of Putin's income, then find out how much percent is Putin's income less than that of Trump's income?

1. $$32.05 \ \%$$
2. $$33.33 \ \%$$
3. $$34.50 \ \%$$
4. $$35.50 \ \%$$

Answer: (b) $$33.33 \ \%$$

Solution: Given, $$n = 50 \ \%$$, then the Putin's income less than that of Trump's income is $$\left[\frac{n}{100 + n} \times 100\right] \ \%$$ $$= \left[\frac{50}{100 + 50} \times 100\right] \ \%$$ $$= \frac{100}{3} = 33.33 \ \%$$

1. Convert the fraction value $$\frac{5}{4}$$ in to percentage value?

1. $$125 \ \%$$
2. $$130 \ \%$$
3. $$150 \ \%$$
4. $$110 \ \%$$

Answer: (a) $$125 \ \%$$

Solution: $$= \frac{5}{4} \times 100 = 125 \ \%$$

1. Convert the $$35 \ \%$$ in to fraction value?

1. $$0.36$$
2. $$0.35$$
3. $$0.25$$
4. $$0.28$$

Answer: (b) $$0.35$$

Solution: $$35 \ \% = \frac{35}{100} = 0.35$$

1. If a man spent $$20 \ \%$$ of his salary on food $$30 \ \%$$ on home expenditure then find out total expenditure of his salary (in fraction)?

1. $$0.7$$
2. $$0.4$$
3. $$0.5$$
4. $$0.2$$

Answer: (c) $$0.5$$

Solution: Total percent the man spent of his salary = $$50 \ \%$$

then total expenditure (in fraction) $$50 \ \% = \frac{50}{100} = 0.5$$ $$0.5$$ part of his salary the man total spent.

1. If a man spent $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of his salary on dinner and $$\frac{1}{5}$$ of his salary on shopping, then find how much percent of his salary he spent?

1. $$85.68 \ \%$$
2. $$84.67 \ \%$$
3. $$82.68 \ \%$$
4. $$86.67 \ \%$$

Answer: (d) $$86.67 \ \%$$

Solution: Total spent by the man $$= \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{13}{15}$$ in terms of percentage total expenditure $$= \frac{13}{15} \times 100 = 86.67 \ \%$$

1. A student obtained $$30$$ marks out of $$70$$ marks, then find the percentage marks the student obtained?

1. $$43.56 \ \%$$
2. $$42.85 \ \%$$
3. $$45.75 \ \%$$
4. $$44.52 \ \%$$

Answer: (b) $$42.85 \ \%$$

Solution: Given, Total marks = $$70$$, marks obtained = $$30$$, then $$Percentage = \frac{marks \ obtained}{total \ marks} \times 100$$ $$= \frac{30}{70} \times 100 = 42.85 \ \%$$
