= [100 - (49 + 36 - 15)]% = 30%
Let total number of students = N
According to the question,
(N x 30)/100 = 450
? N = (450/30) x 100 = 1500
? Total number of students = 1500
Correct Answer: 331/3%
Explanation:
Quantity of alcohol in 5 L of solution = (40/100) x 5 = 2 L

= 331/3%

Correct Answer: Both classes have equal percentage of students getting first class
Explanation:
For class X, let the students passed in first class = a%
Then, by condition given in question
a% of 30 = 24
? (a x 30) /100 = 24
? a = 80%
Now, for class Y let the student passed in first class = b%
Then, according to the question,
b% of 35 = 28
? (b x 35)/100 = 28
? b = (28 x 100)/35 = 80%
Hence, both classes have equal percentage of student getting first class.

Correct Answer: 52%
Explanation:
Let the total number of staff be 100.
? Female staff = 40
Male staff = (100 - 40) = 60

= [(20 x 770) / (80 x 3.5)
= ? 55

? Quantity of rice bought = (5000/95) kg = 52.63 kg
Correct Answer: ? 5
Explanation:
Increase in the price of rice = 25%
? increased in ? 400 = 25% of ? 400
