130---------30
100---------? => 23 1/3%
Correct Answer: 300
Explanation:
Let the number be 'N'
Given N + 30N/100 = 390
=> 130N/100 = 390
=> N = 390 x 10/13
=> N = 300.
Correct Answer: 160
Explanation:
Let the number be n. Then,
50% of n - 35% of n = 24
50/100 n - 35/100 n = 24
n = (24 x 100)/15 = 160.
Correct Answer: 430
Explanation:
Let the total number of valid votes be 'V'.
70% of V = 70/100 x V = 7V/10
Number of votes secured by the other candidate = V - 7V/100 = 3V/10
Given, 7V/10 - 3V/10 = 172 => 4V/10 = 172
=> 4V = 1720 => V = 430.
