per week so that the employee's total
weekly I income would remain Percentage of the money given to wife =
unchanged. By what percent should the 40%
number of hours worked be reduced.
Solution: Find the remaining amount left after giving
Let Employee initial salary = Tk 100 to his wife in percentage:
Old hours: 20 100 - 40 = 60%
New salary = $125
New hours: x Percentage of money given to the 3 sons:
Now, 20% of 60% = 0.2 x 60 = 12%
20 × 100 = x × 125 1 son gets = 12%
x = 16 3 sons get = 12 x 3 = 36%
Percent of reduction = 4/20 × 100 = 20%
Remaining amount left after giving to his 3
2)In a group of people solicited by a
sons in percentage:
charity, 30% contributed Tk. 400 each,
60 - 36 = 24%

Remaining percentage after spending on
charity received a total of Tk. 3,000 form
miscellaneous items:
the people who contributed Tk. 20, then
1/2 x 24% = 0.5 x 24 =12%
how much was contributed by the entire
group?
Money he had originally:
Solution:
Percentage of money left = 12%
Let the entire group=100x
Amount of money left = Rs 12000
30% contribute = Tk. 400 × 30x = Tk.
12% = 12000
12000x
1% = 12000 ÷ 12 = Rs 1000
45% contribute= Tk. 200 × 45x = Tk. 9000x
100% = 1000 x 100 = Rs 100,000
Rest the contribute= Tk. 20 × (100-45-30)x

Or,(100-60=) 40% =12 Mark up price=20% above
So, 100% = 12*100/40 = 30 Discount=10%
Again, So overall profit
x/3 = 30 =[20+(-10)+(20*-10)/100]=8%
Or, x=90 Hence,

people like chicken whereas 76% like
fish.If X% like both fish & chicken then Alternative Method:
what is the range of X? L.C.M. of 8 and 6= 48
Solution: Let, total student be 48
Let So, boys= 24 and girls= 24
The people who like both be x% and the Boys residing in the hostel =24×(5/6)= 20
people who like none be n% of the total ; Boys do not reside in the hostel =24-20= 4
Thus,63 people like chicken , Required percentage
76 people like fish, = (4/48)×100 %

Reducing working hours=H more for Tk. 120. Find the original and
According to the question, reduced rate of sugar.
H*12.5=100 Solution:
Or, H=8 Let Original Rate was x per kg.
So, Reduced rate = x - 25/4% of x = 0.9375x per
Working hour reduce kg.
=10-8 =2 Difference = 1 kg
Required hours reduced 120/0.9375x - 120/x = 1
=(2/10)*100 128/x - 120/x =1
=20% x = 8.

cars were equally blue, white and red.
70% of black cars, 80% of blue cars, 30%
of white cars, 40% of red cars were sold.
What percentage of total
cars were sold?
Solution:
Let,
The total car was x
So,
Black was = x/2
Remaining cars =(x-x/2)=x/2
ATQ,
Other cars are equal colours
So,
Blue, White, and Red are
x/6,x/6,x/6 respectively
Sold cars:
Black cars=x/2 of 70%=7x/20
Blue cars=x/6 of 80%=2x/15
White cars=x/6 of 30%=x/20
Red cars=x/6 of 40%=x/15
Total sold
=(7x/20)+(2x/15)+(x/20)+(x/15)
