Correct Answer: 85
Explanation:
Let the number be x. Then, x-(2/5)x = 510
=> 3x/5 =510
=>x =[510 * ( 5/3)] =850
10 % 0f 850 = 85.

Correct Answer: 1060
Explanation:
Total number of sweets
= 80 x 15 x 80/100 + 5 x 80 x 25/100
= 960 + 100 = 1060
Correct Answer: Rs. 30
Explanation:
From the given data,
When the price of rice is decreased by 10%, the value of Rs. 270 would become
270 x 100/90 = 300
Now, the value 270 becomes 300
And given, the girl could buy 1 kg extra for that value
Change in value = 300 - 270 = Rs. 30
Therefore, 1 kg extra rice she can get for Rs. 30
=> The original price of rice = Rs. 30/kg.
As she gets only 9 kgs for Rs. 270 before 10% discount, now after discount she gets 10 kgs instead of 9 kgs for Rs. 270.
Correct Answer: 500
Explanation:
Let the total sale be Rs. x.
Then, 2.5%. of x = 12.50
=> (25/100 * 1/100 * x) = 125/10
=> x = 500.
Correct Answer: 217.50
Explanation:
Given expression = (45 x 750/100) - (25 x 480/100) = (337.50 - 120) = 217.50
Correct Answer: 1.6
Explanation:
Quantity of pure acid = 20% of 8 litres = ((20/100)*8) litres = 1.6 litres.
Correct Answer: 264
Explanation:
Given 56% of 225 + 20% of 150 = ? - 109
we know that a% of b = b% of a
Now,
225% of 56 + 20% of 150 = ? - 109
200% of 56 + 25% of 56 + 20% of 150 = ? - 109
112 + 14 + 30 = ? - 109
? = 112 + 14 + 30 + 109
? = 264
