PERCENTAGE QUIZZES

Q.1 : If 40% of 1640 + X = 35% of 980 + 150% of 850 then find the value of X ?

  • A - 692
  • B - 962
  • C - 926
  • D - 952

Correct Answer is option - B
Explanation :

40% of 1640 + X = 35% of 980 + 150% of 850

or, 656 + X = 343 + 1275

or, X = 1618 - 656 = 962

Q.2 : What percent of 120 is 24 ?

  • A - 20
  • B - 25
  • C - 10
  • D - 30

Correct Answer is option - A
Explanation :

Let X% of 120 = 24

Then, X/100 × 120 = 24

or, X = (24 × 100)/120

or, X = 20

Q.3 : If 33.333 of a number is 33. Then find the number ?

  • A - 72
  • B - 81
  • C - 99
  • D - 91

Correct Answer is option - C
Explanation :

Let the number be X. Then,

33.333of X = 33

or, 1/3 × X = 33

or, X = 33 × 3 = 99

Q.4 : In an examination Shan got 25% of maximum marks and failed by 75 marks. Kuchi got 200 marks and failed by 20%. What is the maximum marks in the examination ?

  • A - 2000
  • B - 2500
  • C - 1800
  • D - 2200

Correct Answer is option - B
Explanation :

Let the maximum marks be 100%. Then,

25% + 75 = 200 + 20%

or, 25% - 20% = 200 - 75

or, 5% = 125

or, 100% = 125/5 × 100 = 2500

.·. The maximum marks = 2500

Q.5 : 40% of the population of a city are men and 35% are women. If the number of children are 30,000 then find the number of women in that city ?

  • A - 40000
  • B - 50000
  • C - 45000
  • D - 42000

Correct Answer is option - D
Explanation :

Let the total population of the city be 100%. Then,

Children = 100% - (Men % + Women %) = 100% - (40% + 35%)

= 100% - 75% = 25%

.·. 25% == 30000

.·. 35% == 30000 × 35/25 = 1200 × 35 = 42000

Q.6 : A's income is 25% more than B's income. Then find the B's income is less than A's income by what percent ?

  • A - 25%
  • B - 30%
  • C - 20%
  • D - 35%

Correct Answer is option - C
Explanation :

We know the formula, e.g. if A is R% more than B, then B is less than A by:

[R% × 100 ]%. Then,

[(25/125) × 100]% = 20%

Q.7 : If 75% of a number is added to 80, then the result is the number itself. Find the number ?

  • A - 320
  • B - 420
  • C - 240
  • D - 480

Correct Answer is option - A
Explanation :

Let the number be 100%. Then,

100% - 75% == 80

or, 25% == 80

or, 100% == (80 × 100)/25 = 80 × 4 = 320

Q.8 : If X% of 932 + 30 = 309.6. Then find the value of X ?

  • A - 25
  • B - 35
  • C - 30
  • D - 20

Correct Answer is option - C
Explanation :

X% of 932 + 30 = 309.6

or, X of 932% = 309.6 - 30

or, X of 9.32 = 279.6

or, X = 279.6/9.32 = 27960/932 = 30

Q.9 : The price of a table is Rs. 400 more than that of a chair. If 6 tables and 6 chairs together cost Rs. 4800, by what percent is the price of the table more than that of the chair ?

  • A - 250%
  • B - 100%
  • C - 150%
  • D - 200%

Correct Answer is option - D
Explanation :

Let the price of a chair be Rs. X. Then,

The price of a table = Rs. (X + 400)

According to the question, 6(X + 400) + 6X = 4800

or, 6X + 2400 + 6X = 4800

or, 12X = 4800 - 2400 = 2400

or, X = 200

.·. The price of a chair = 200 and the price of a table = 600

.·. The required percentage = [(400/200) × 100]% = 200%

Q.10 : 5% of income of A is equal to 15% of income of B and 10% of income of B is equal to 20% of income of C. If C's income is Rs. 2000, then find the total income of A, B and C ?

  • A - Rs. 18000
  • B - Rs. 14000
  • C - Rs. 20000
  • D - Rs. 8000

Correct Answer is option - A
Explanation :

5% of A = 15% of B → A = 3B

and 10% of B = 20% of C → B = 2C → B = 2 × 2000 → B = Rs. 4000

.·. A = 3B → A = 3 × 4000 = Rs. 12000

Hence, the total income of (A + B + C) = (2000 + 4000 + 12000) = Rs. 18000
