Question 1.
In a school X, 48 students appeared for 10th class exam out of which 36 students passed. In another school Y, 30 students appeared and 24 students passed. If the District Educational Officer wants to give an award on the basis of pass percentage. To which school will he give the award?
Solution:
From the first school:
Number of students appeared for the exam = 48
Number of students passed = 36
as a percentage = \(\frac { 36 }{ 48 }\) × 100 = 75
Pass percentage = 75%

From the second school:
Number of students appeared = 30
Number of students passed = 24
Pass percentage = \(\frac { 24 }{ 30 }\) × 100 = 80%
As 80% > 75%
D.E.O should give award to the 2nd school.

Question 2.
Last year the cost of 1000 articles was ₹ 5000. This year it goes down to ₹ 4000. What is the percentage of decrease in price?
Solution:
Last year
Cost of 1000 articles = ₹ 5000
∴ Cost of one article = \(\frac { 5000 }{ 1000 }\) = ₹ 5
This year
Cost of 1000 articles = ₹ 4000
∴ Cost of one article = \(\frac { 4000 }{ 1000 }\) = ₹ 4
Decrease in price = ₹ 5 – ₹ 4 = ₹ 1
Decrease In percentage = \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) × 100% = 20%

Question 8.
In every gram of gold, a goldsmith mixes 0.25 grams of silver and 0.05 grams of copper. What is the percentage of gold, silver and copper in every gram of gold?
Solution:
In 1 gm
The quantity of silver = 0.25 gm
The quantity of copper = 0.05 gm
∴ The quantity of gold = 1 gm – (0.25 . 0.05)
= 1 – 0.3 = 0.7gm
∴ Percentage of gold = \(\frac { 0.7 }{ 1 }\) × 100 = 70%
∴ Percentage of silver = \(\frac { 0.25 }{ 1 }\) × 100 = 25%
∴ Percentage of copper = \(\frac { 0.05 }{ 2 }\) × 100 = 5%

Question 9.
40% of a number is 800 then find the number?
Solution:
Let the number be = x
40% of x = 800
(i.e.,) \(\frac{40 \times x}{100}\) = 800
x = \(\frac{800 \times 100}{40}\)
x = 2000
∴ The required number = 2000
